On September 19, 2023, the International Franchise Association hosted this webinar on preserving franchising in California and what the recent deal means for your business.

On the final day of the California 2023 legislative session, a major legislative agreement was announced between the Save Local Restaurants Coalition and the SEIU removing existential threats to the franchising in California. The agreement eliminates the most dangerous impacts of the FAST Act and AB 1228. Before this agreement, quick service restaurants in California were facing an uncertain future with the threats of joint employment, an unelected Council with law making authority and refunded Industrial Welfare Commission. While this all was held back by a looming ballot referendum fight – it could have cost upwards of $250 million, and left uncertainty about the future of franchising in the Golden State. With this agreement in place, the future is brighter for franchised restaurants in the state, and franchisees can now plan with certainty.

There are many parts of this agreement to go through and you probably have questions. Watch this webinar featuring IFA CEO, Matt Haller, & VP of State & Local Government Relations, Jeff Hanscom, to learn more about the deal and what it means for you, your brands, and the future of franchising in California.

Speakers:
Matt Haller, President & CEO, IFA
Jeff Hanscom, VP of State & Local Government Relations
