## Summary

**Would make the Federal Trade Commission's negative option rule into federal law.** It would treat Part 425 of Title 16 of the Code of Federal Regulations, as in effect on July 7, 2025, as having the force and effect of statute. - Consumers: People facing automatic renewals or negative-option offers would have the protections written in Part 425 enforceable as federal law. This elevates existing regulatory protections into statutory status. - Businesses: Companies that use subscription, auto-renewal, or negative-option selling practices would see the rule's requirements converted into statute, changing the legal standard they must meet. - Regulators and courts: Agencies and judges would be able to rely on the codified regulatory text as statutory authority when resolving compliance disputes. The bill does not add new programs, funding, or separate enforcement mechanisms.

You would have clearer steps to cancel automatic renew…
