Bill Summary

The bill prohibits any county, municipality, or city and county (local government) or any agency of a local government from requiring a license or permit for a business that is: Operated on an occasional basis by a minor (a person under the age of 18 years); and Located a sufficient distance from a commercial entity, determined by the local government, that is required to obtain a permit or license from the local government or an agency of the local government to prevent the minor's business from becoming a direct economic competitor of the commercial entity. The bill defines "occasional basis" to mean the business does not operate more than 84 days in any one calendar year.

AI Summary

This bill prohibits any local government or its agency from requiring a license or permit for a business that is operated on an occasional basis (up to 84 days per year) by a minor (a person under the age of 18). The bill defines "business" as any enterprise carried on for the purpose of gain or economic profit, excluding the act of employees rendering services to employers. The bill also allows local governments to enact and enforce laws under their general police power regarding the manner in which a minor's business may be conducted, except for the requirement to obtain a permit or license. The bill declares that these matters are of statewide concern, and encourages minor entrepreneurs to understand that they will need to fully comply with the existing regulatory and legal environment to successfully compete as adults in the business world.
