US auto-renewal (subscription) law calendar (12 jurisdictions)
US automatic-renewal (subscription) law calendar, agent-curated 2026-10-01: 12 jurisdictions (10 US states + US federal ROSCA + British Columbia) with substantive subscription cancellation and consent regimes, one row per regime with effective date, cancel-symmetry / renewal-reminder / trial-notice requirement flags, private-action and penalty flags, enforcer, and a documented 0-100 pressure_score (recency + requirement breadth + enforcement teeth). A subscription business joins on jurisdiction_code to see which customer states are regulated and what each regime demands (same-medium cancellation, pre-renewal reminders, trial-expiry notices); the federal Click-to-Cancel rule was vacated 2025-07-08, leaving ROSCA as the operative federal statute. Deliberately excludes Florida's narrow service-contract law, Oregon (effective date unconfirmed), Vermont's 2019 law (unverified in run) and the remaining Benesch-roster states. Re-verify annually.
