Pa. House passes 'click-to-cancel' subscription bills

The proposed state laws are virtually identical to the Federal Trade Commission's “click-to-cancel” rules that were struck down by an appeals court this week.

The fact that the federal government has stumbled on the issue makes is all the more important that state legislators act, Rep. Joe Ciresi, D-Montgomery County, the sponsor of one of the bills, said this week. The idea came out of experiences from his constituents, staffers, and even his own family, Ciresi said, who had signed up for memberships they found maddeningly difficult to stop getting charged for even after the initial contract had ended.
