BILL NUMBER:  AB 1782
  VETOED	DATE: 09/22/2016




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1782 without my signature.

This bill authorizes franchisors to exhibit at franchise trade shows
without first registering with the Department of Business Oversight
(Department).¦

Registration gives the Department the opportunity to review franchise
disclosure documents and ensure that franchisors are providing
accurate information to potential customers. Allowing unregistered
franchisors to market at these events without verifying their
eligibility to do business in California is a step in the wrong
direction.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
