Representative Schreiber presented conference committee report No. 2 on a House bill and described it as a consumer protection measure that would require notice before annual subscription renewals.
"This bill is a consumer protection bill that allows for consumers to have notice when there is an annual subscription that it will be renewing if they've agreed to that so they can have some reminder that their price is going to get charged again that they got probably 11, 12 months before and they may have forgotten about it," Representative Schreiber said, adding that the measure also "puts some other consumer protections" to ensure people are aware when they agree to an annual subscription.
Schreiber asked whether there were any questions or debate; when none were offered he asked to open the report for signatures. The committee confirmed it was open for signatures and adjourned. No vote or further debate was recorded in the transcript.
