This bill would prohibit a franchisor from requiring a franchisee that asserts a sincerely held religious belief to operate on a religious day unless: (i) the original franchise agreement required operation on a religious day; (ii) the franchisee agrees to the operation on a religious day; or (iii) the franchise locations are expanded and the agreement setting forth the expansion requires the operation on a religious day. This bill would also provide for a cause of action if a franchisor violates this act and would provide for penalties.
