MODERATE

This bill was amended to add more sponsors and update its status after committee review. The substantive policy changes modify the notice period requirements for automatic renewals, changing the renewal term threshold from one year to more than 31 days, which expands consumer protection coverage to shorter-term subscriptions.

Scope change

The bill now applies to automatic renewals with terms of more than 31 days instead of the previous one-year minimum, expanding consumer protection to shorter subscription commitments.

ELIGIBILITY

Changed the minimum subscription term requiring notice from one year to more than 31 days, extending consumer protection to shorter-term automatic renewals.

REQUIREMENT

Added language clarifying that notice must be provided for renewals with terms exceeding 31 days, replacing the previous bracketed text about six-month renewal terms.

TECHNICAL

Added additional sponsors to the bill and updated committee status to reflect committee discharge and amendment.

Updated bill number from S5615 to S5615-A and changed page reference from LBD02152-03-5 to LBD02152-07-5 to reflect the amended version.
