Bill > A06471

This bill amends the New York General Business Law to create a new provision specifically addressing temporary businesses operated by minors. Under the proposed legislation, a "minor" is defined as an individual under 18 years old, and a "temporary business" is characterized as any business operating for less than 30 days and generating less than $5,000 in profit during a calendar year. The bill exempts these minor-operated businesses from obtaining most permits and licenses, with some exceptions for specific regulated industries and professional licenses. Additionally, the bill grants local governing bodies and law enforcement agencies the authority to require a minor to relocate their temporary business if the current location is determined to pose a substantial health or safety risk to the minor or the general public. This legislation appears aimed at reducing bureaucratic barriers for young entrepreneurs while maintaining a mechanism for public safety oversight.
