School employees: solicitation: financial services or products.

Existing law establishes a system of public elementary and secondary education in this state. Under this system, local educational agencies employ personnel to provide instruction to pupils in kindergarten and grades 1 to 12, inclusive, at schoolsites throughout the state.

This bill would prohibit a school district, county office of education, or charter school from permitting solicitation of financial services or products on a schoolsite to school employees unless specified conditions are met, including, among others, requiring the representative to follow security measures and provide evidence of their business and license status, as provided. The bill would prohibit a representative from providing any inducement, as defined, to school employees and would require the representative to provide certain verbal and written disclosures at the beginning and end of each solicitation, as provided. The bill would prohibit a representative or business from using graphics, uniforms, or other items that could reasonably lead an employee to believe the representative is affiliated with a different business or agency.

The bill would also require any solicitation conducted through electronic mail to include certain words, as provided.
