Bill > AB2197

This bill aims to regulate the solicitation of financial services or products to school employees on school grounds by adding new provisions to the Education Code. It defines key terms like "local educational agency" (which includes school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools), "employee" (certificated or classified staff), "financial service or product" (anything subject to the Financial or Insurance Code), "inducement" (anything offered to influence behavior for the representative's benefit), and "solicitation" (selling, offering, or advertising financial services or products). The bill prohibits these solicitations unless specific conditions are met, such as the representative following security measures, not accessing areas with students, providing proof of their business and license status, and not using school resources. Representatives are forbidden from offering any inducements and must provide verbal and written disclosures at the beginning and end of each solicitation, including how they are compensated and information about similar services available through public agencies, emphasizing that they do not represent the state or a public agency. Furthermore, representatives and businesses are prohibited from using misleading graphics, uniforms, or other items that could make employees believe they are affiliated with a different entity, and any electronic mail solicitations must clearly state "VENDOR" or "SOLICITATION" in the subject line.
