What it does
This joint resolution seeks to disapprove a rule issued by the Federal Trade Commission concerning the "Negative Option Rule," which was published in the Federal Register on November 15, 2024. If enacted, the resolution would nullify the rule, meaning it would have no legal force or effect. The measure affects businesses and consumers involved in subscription-based or automatic renewal services, as the FTC rule likely governs practices related to negative option billing. The resolution was introduced in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation for further consideration.
