S.2920

New Jersey S2920 regulates hospitality franchise agreements, prohibiting franchisors from certain practices.

New Jersey S2920 concerns hospitality franchise agreements, supplementing the "Franchise Practices Act." It applies to franchises where the franchisee maintains a New Jersey business or derives over 20% of gross sales from New Jersey. The bill prohibits franchisors from restricting franchisee employees' activities, unilaterally changing contract terms, imposing undisclosed fees, and requiring excessive capital investments. It also bans franchisors from selling loyalty program points without compensating franchisees, imposing fees for guest criticism, and denying access to necessary programs.
