We have important news to share. California Assembly Bill 2632, introduced by Assemblymember Hoover on February 20, 2026, is a significant step forward for franchisee rights across the state.
If passed, this bill will hold franchisors legally accountable for how they collect and spend fees designated for specific purposes — including advertising funds, loyalty programs, and technology fees. Put simply: your fees must be used for what they were intended for. Nothing more, nothing less.
The AAFD enthusiastically endorses this legislation and will put its full support behind its passage. – View support letter here
