AI Summary
This bill amends the Michigan Consumer Protection Act to require the disclosure of automatic renewal provisions in consumer contracts. Specifically, it mandates that businesses clearly and conspicuously disclose the automatic renewal terms, including the length of the initial and renewal periods, the pricing, and the cancellation process. The bill also requires businesses to provide advance notice to consumers before automatically renewing a contract longer than two months, and prohibits them from charging additional fees or penalties for cancellation. The bill applies to contracts that take effect, are extended, renewed, or modified after the effective date of the amendment.
