Uncheck the Box Act

If you've ever donated to a political campaign online and later noticed recurring charges you didn't realize you'd signed up for, this bill targets that problem. It would ban political campaigns and PACs from using pre-checked boxes or other sneaky methods to lock donors into automatic recurring contributions. Donors would have to actively opt in — not just fail to uncheck a box — before any recurring charge can be made. Campaigns would also be required to send receipts with clear cancellation instructions every time a recurring donation is processed.
