Abstract
(SB0536 · 103rd Legislature) Consumer protection: unfair trade practices; disclosure of automatic renewal provisions in consumer contracts; require. Amends sec. 3 of 1976 PA 331 (MCL 445.903). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0535’25 Latest action (2026-06-25): Referred To Committee On Regulatory Reform
Why this matters
For consumers, SB0536 would create an affirmative disclosure duty around automatic renewal terms — a common source of surprise charges — placing the obligation squarely within the Consumer Protection Act’s unfair trade practices framework. For businesses, it adds a compliance requirement to contract drafting and marketing when subscriptions or services auto-renew. The tie-bar with SB0535 signals the two bills are intended to move together as a package.
