Overview
This bill prohibits franchisors from requiring franchisees to operate on days that conflict with the franchisee’s sincerely held religious beliefs. It establishes a cause of action for franchisees who believe they have been unfairly treated due to these requirements, allowing them to seek damages, attorney fees, and injunctive relief. The bill includes exceptions for situations where the requirement is clearly outlined in the original franchise agreement or agreed upon by the franchisee in a renewal or amendment.
