These states include California, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. This means that as of the date of the document, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? has either filed for registration or is seeking an exemption from registration in these states, but the registration or exemption is not yet effective.
For a prospective 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchisee, this information is crucial because it affects when they can legally be offered and sold a franchise in these states. The franchisor cannot sell a franchise in a registration state until the FDD is effective in that state. The effective date signifies that the state has reviewed and approved the franchise offering or that the exemption is in place.
