Consumer protection; automatic renewal or continuous service offer to consumer; exemptions. Exempts extended service contract providers, and their affiliates, regulated by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and insurers or entities regulated by Title 38.2 (Insurance) from provisions of law governing automatic renewal and continuous service offers to consumers. The bill also amends the definition of "automatic renewal" to mean a plan or arrangement in which a paid subscription or purchasing agreement is automatically renewed at the end of a definite term for a subsequent term of more than one month. Current law does not specify the length of the subsequent renewal term.
