Rescuing Every Contributor from Unwanted Recurrences (RECUR) Act

The Rescuing Every Contributor from Unwanted Recurrences (RECUR) Act aims to prevent political campaigns and organizations from enrolling donors in recurring payment plans without their explicit permission. Under this bill, solicitors would be prohibited from using "passive" consent methods, such as pre-checked boxes, to authorize automatic monthly donations.

For citizens, this means that any recurring political contribution would require an intentional, affirmative action to opt-in. Additionally, the bill requires organizations to provide clear receipts for every transaction, include easy-to-find cancellation instructions in every communication, and process all cancellation requests immediately.
