Dossier Legislative introduced 29-jul-2025
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

Click to Cancel Act of 2025

Key claim: A House bill that would require businesses to let customers cancel subscriptions as easily as they signed up has been introduced and sent to the Energy and Commerce Committee.

Abstract

(HR4819 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2025-07-29): Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Why this matters

Subscription cancellation friction is a recurring consumer-protection flashpoint, and congressional action signals a potential statutory baseline that would operate independently of (and could outlast) the FTC’s negotiated-cancellation rulemaking. Introduction with committee referral is an early procedural step, so the practical status quo for platforms and users is unchanged until markup or passage.
