The Direct Selling Association stated that Delaware House Bill 162 poses what it calls “a critical threat to direct selling,” and proposes regulations that it calls “impractical, unnecessary and unlike any imposed elsewhere in the United States.”
The bill is expected to require a 48-hour mandatory waiting period before participation in a program, a three-month right of recission for participants and disclosure requirements that it called “onerous and unwarranted.”
The DSA assembled a “Take Action Now” packet to encourage direct selling companies to engage in raising their voices against the bill that included a customizable template letter, a one-page summary of the bill’s details as well as the DSA’s position, and contact information for relevant legislators.
“This is one of the most serious threats our channel has faced,” the DSA wrote in a statement. “If this legislation passes in Delaware, it will not stop there.”
