Bill > HB1369

This bill, the Contract Automatic Renewal Act, requires sellers in Pennsylvania who offer contracts with automatic renewal provisions to clearly disclose those provisions to consumers. The bill defines key terms like "automatic renewal provision," "consumer," and "seller." It mandates that sellers provide written or electronic notification to consumers between 30 and 60 days before the contract's automatic renewal deadline. The bill also states that contracts with automatic renewal clauses are enforceable unless the consumer cancels or the seller fails to comply with the notification requirements. Violations of the act are considered unfair or deceptive trade practices under the state's Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law.
