MI SB0535

Requires businesses to disclose automatic renewal provisions in consumer contracts clearly and conspicuously in at least 14-point type, including contract length, pricing, any promotional terms, and cancellation procedures

Mandates electronic notice to consumers 30-60 days before automatic renewal for contracts renewing for more than 2 months, informing them of the renewal, any term changes, and how to cancel

Requires businesses to notify consumers every 6 months (or annually for facilities providing physical equipment) that they remain subscribed and will continue to be charged

Prohibits businesses from charging cancellation fees at the end of contract terms or trial periods, and requires honoring all timely cancellation notices

Exempts insurance-regulated entities, telephone/wireless/broadband services regulated by the Michigan Public Service Commission, and contracts that allow pro rata refund cancellation at any time

Allows consumers to void contracts that violate these requirements; bill takes effect only if SB 536 is also enacted
