Easier subscription cancellation for Louisiana consumers

Beginning January 1, 2027, covered businesses must make automatically renewing subscriptions easy to cancel for Louisiana consumers. They must clearly explain renewal lengths, recurring charges, cancellation rules, and any minimum purchase requirement. Businesses must get your consent before charging and provide a confirmation you can keep. They must keep consent records for at least one year. Renewal terms longer than one year require your express written consent. Businesses must give at least three days' advance notice for renewals of 12 months or longer. The same notice applies to major contract changes and trials becoming paid subscriptions. Businesses with fewer than 50 employees or annual gross revenue under $5 million are generally exempt. Those totals include parent companies, subsidiaries, and affiliates. A separate advance-notice exception covers qualifying smaller businesses that follow the other disclosure, consent, and cancellation rules. Exclusions also cover contracts entered before January 1, 2011, and specified financial institutions, insurers, and federally regulated communications services. Specified nonprofit, trade-association, professional, and commercial subscriptions are also excluded. Violations can bring civil penalties up to $500 each. Enforcement generally requires written notice and 30 days to fix the violation, except for willful or repeated violations. Good-faith compliance efforts and reasonable procedures can prevent liability for technical or accidental violations causing no material consumer harm.
