New Requirements Under Automatic Renewal Laws: Here’s How to Stay Compliant
        
                                      March 8, 2022
                         
          
                  
          
                    	
Sami Kazi,
                    
          Donahue Fitzgerald LLP  
          
                    
In October 2021, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law Assembly Bills (“AB”) 390 & 1221, both of which enhance California’s already-demanding automatic renewal protections. AB 390 will carry forward all the current Automatic Renewal Law (“ARL”) requirements, while also implementing new renewal notice and online cancellation requirements effective July 1, 2022 (Bus & Prof. Code § 17602). AB 1221 amends provisions in the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (“SB Act”) covering service contracts relating to all consumer retail goods sold in California that are under an implied or express warranty (Cal. Civ. Code § 1791 and § 1794.4). AB 1221 is effective as of January 1, 2022. The new amendments to the ARL and expansion of automatic renewal regulation through the SB Act are important signals of California’s intent to remain a leader in consumer advocacy. Businesses providing subscription-based products and services in California should be aware of these new obligations.
