This joint resolution would block a Federal Trade Commission rule on "negative option" billing—the practice where companies automatically charge customers recurring fees unless they actively cancel. If passed by both chambers of Congress, the measure would nullify the FTC rule published in November 2024 and prevent it from taking effect. The resolution uses a congressional review process that allows lawmakers to disapprove new regulations. The rule would have affected subscription services, membership programs, and other businesses that use automatic renewal billing practices, as well as the consumers who sign up for them. There is no specific funding attached to this measure, as it simply seeks to eliminate an existing regulation rather than authorize new spending.
