(1) A franchise agreement imposes on the
franchisor a duty of due care. Unless a franchisor
represents that it has greater skill or knowledge in
its undertaking with its franchisees, or conspicuously
disclaims that it has skill or knowledge, the
franchisor is required to exercise the skill and knowl-
edge normally possessed by franchisors in good
standing in the same or similar types of business.
(2) For purposes of this subsection—
(A) the term ‘‘skill or knowledge’’ means
something more than the mere minimum level
of skill or knowledge required of any person en-
gaging in a service or business and involves a
special level of expertise—
(i) which is the result of acquired
learning and aptitude developed by special
training and experience in the business to
be licensed under the franchise agreement,
or the result of extensive use and experi-
ence with the goods or services or the oper-
ating system of such business;
(ii) which is the result of experience in
organizing a franchise system and in pro-
viding training, assistance and services to
franchisees; and
request shall provide in writing the ownership interests of
all persons holding or claiming an equitable or beneficial
interest in the franchise subsequent to the transfer or the
franchisee, as appropriate.
(c) CONSENT TO PROPOSED TRANSFER.—A transfer
by a franchisee is deemed to have been approved 30 days
after the franchisee submits the request for permission to
transfer the franchise involved unless, within that time the
franchisor refuses to consent to the transfer as evidenced
in writing in accordance with subsection (a). A statement
of the grounds for refusal to consent to the transfer is
privileged against a claim of defamation.
(d) CONDITIONS OF TRANSFER.—
(1) PERMISSIBLE
CONDITIONS.—A franchisor
may require as a condition of a transfer that—
(A) the transferee successfully complete a
reasonable training program;
(B) a reasonable transfer fee be paid to re-
imburse the franchisor for the franchisor’s rea-

In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

Whereas the United States should lead the world in providing 
high-quality education and opportunities to its citizens; 
Whereas digital skills are essential for education and pre-
paring citizens for the economy of the future; 
Whereas, on a daily basis, teachers across the country assign 
homework that requires Internet access to be completed; 
Whereas there are 5 million households with school-age chil-
dren in the United States that do not have high-speed 
Internet access at home and fall into what is known as 
the ‘‘homework gap’’; 
Whereas a disproportionate number of students without high- 
speed Internet access at home reside in low-income and 
minority households; 
Whereas students and families in rural areas face additional 
challenges when homework requires Internet access that 
is out of reach; 
Whereas every student deserves an opportunity at 21st cen-
tury success; 
Whereas participation in the classroom can be improved when 
all students are equipped with the tools to complete their 
homework;
•HRES 939 EH 
Whereas educators can increase the use of cutting-edge edu-
cation technology and digital learning resources when 
those resources remain accessible during out-of-school 
hours; 
Whereas data show that students have received lower grades 
and been unable to complete their assignments because of 
their lack of Internet access at home; 
Whereas improved student access to postsecondary education 
and workforce opportunities can be made possible by in-
creasing the ability of students to apply for employment, 
postsecondary education, and financial aid opportunities; 
Whereas leaders in the public and private sectors have recog-
nized that the homework gap is an issue of national im-
portance and partnered to find cooperative solutions to 
address it; and 
Whereas instilling digital skills and the knowledge to succeed 
in the 21st century economy in the Nation’s students is 
vital to the Nation’s global competitiveness: Now, there-
fore, be it
