The Direct Selling Association (DSA) announced it will host a webinar on Friday, June 6 to address how direct selling companies can work to help stop Delaware House Bill 162. Last week, the DSA issued an advocacy alert about the bill, calling it “a critical threat to direct selling” that proposes regulations that are “impractical, unnecessary and unlike any imposed elsewhere in the United States.”
The bill would require a 48-hour mandatory waiting period before participation in a program, a three-month right of recission for participants and disclosure requirements that the DSA called “onerous and unwarranted.”
The DSA’s webinar will provide information about the bill’s current status and how it will impact companies and field distributors, and will outline immediate, coordinated action that member companies can take to mobilize salesforce and leadership against it.
“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.”
