SPRINGFIELD – Consumers will be protected from burdensome automatic renewals starting Jan. 1 thanks to a new law spearheaded by State Senator Doris Turner.

“Some businesses have been taking advantage of people for decades,” said Turner (D-Springfield). “We must protect consumers in Illinois, and this law puts an end to the tricks businesses have been using.”

Under Senate Bill 2764, businesses that offer a free trial or promotional period of its products and services that automatically renew must notify consumers by email at least three days before the cancellation deadline. This applies to free gift or trial periods that last longer than 15 days.

“People should not be charged for services they don’t use,” said Turner. “We are protecting consumers while holding businesses accountable.”

Senate Bill 2764 takes effect Jan. 1, 2025.
