Michigan HB5342 requires businesses to disclose automatic renewal provisions in consumer contracts and mandates electronic notifications to consumers.

Michigan HB5342 amends the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act to include new provisions regarding consumer contracts with automatic renewal. Businesses must disclose automatic renewal provisions clearly and conspicuously in contracts. They must also provide electronic notifications to consumers annually and every six months, informing them of their subscription status and the automatic renewal of their contracts. The bill prohibits businesses from charging additional costs or penalties for contract cancellation and mandates that consumers can cancel contracts exclusively online.
