## Summary

**Codifies the FTC's Negative Option Rule and makes it enforceable under the FTC Act.** This bill would convert the FTC's November 15, 2024 Negative Option Rule into binding law and let the Federal Trade Commission use its existing powers and penalties to enforce it. - Consumers: People who face automatic renewals or negative-option offers would have the FTC rule applied as law, and violations would be treated as unfair or deceptive acts. - Businesses: Companies that use negative-option enrollment or automatic renewals would be subject to enforcement actions and penalties available under the FTC Act if they break the codified rule. - Federal enforcement: The FTC would enforce the codified rule using the same jurisdiction, powers, duties, and penalties it already has under the FTC Act.
