This bill would make it easier to unsubscribe from commercial emails by requiring them to contain an “unsubscribe from all” option. The emails would have to be setup so that recipients wouldn’t have to take more than one additional step to request that they no longer receive emails from the sender.

Commercial email messages would be required to be capable of receiving unsubscribe replies for at least 30 days after the original message is sent.
