Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Federal Trade Commission relating to ''Negative Option Rule''.

# Plain Language Summary: HJRES 100 **What This Bill Does:** This bill would reject a new Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rule about "negative option" services—subscriptions and automatic renewal programs where customers are automatically charged unless they cancel. If passed, the rule would be disapproved and prevented from going into effect. This uses a congressional process called the Congressional Review Act that allows Congress to overturn recent federal regulations. **Who It Affects and Key Details:** The rule being targeted would make it easier for consumers to cancel subscriptions and would require companies to get clear consent before charging customers. Rejecting it would keep these stricter protections from taking effect, meaning subscription services (streaming, fitness apps, memberships, etc.) would continue operating under less stringent rules.

The bill is sponsored by Rep. Laurel Lee (R-FL) and is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't been voted on yet. **Current Status:** The bill remains in committee and has not advanced to a floor vote. While the Republican-controlled House could potentially pass it, the bill's ultimate fate would depend on Senate action and whether enough votes exist to override any presidential veto.
