Cal. Corp. Code § 31212 — Prohibited Practices is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
No franchisor shall refuse to grant a franchise, or refuse to provide financial assistance, to a franchisee or prospective franchisee that has been granted or provided to other similarly situated franchisees or prospective franchisees based solely on any characteristic of the franchisee or prospective franchisee, or any characteristic of the composition of the neighborhood or geographic area where the franchise is located or the proposed franchise would be located, listed or defined in subdivision (b) or (e) of Section 51 of the Civil Code. Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to prohibit a franchisor from granting a franchise to a prospective franchisee as part of a program to make franchises available to persons lacking the capital, training, business experience, or other qualifications ordinarily required of franchisees, or any other affirmative action program adopted by the franchisor.
