The state House has passed a pair of bills aimed at tamping down on dubious subscription services.
Earlier this month, the House approved a bill cracking down on so-called 'negative option' agreements.
This week, the chamber also cleared a second bill requiring that subscriptions or memberships made online must also be able to be canceled online.
