Business License Protocols

Introduction

This legislation is intended to provide guidance for previously approved business, and allow for the continued operation of businesses and allow each Jurisdiction to have oversight of businesses that operate in their borders.

Constitutional Justification

The constitution provides no restrictions on the ability of a private citizen to conduct themselves or engage in commercial operations of a business. However, the San Andreas Department of Justice has determined that certain restrictions should be in place to prevent abuse of a system that ultimately should encourage citizens to build a future for themselves and the right to determine their future.

Details and Implementation Plan

The Los Santos County and Blaine County are responsible for writing their own business license protocols, laws, and enforcement guidelines within reason. The San Andreas Department of Justice will be the secondary check in the system, additionally providing oversight to a system that has the potential for abuse.

This legislation shall be implemented as follows:

• Each county shall create their own legislation detailing how business shall operate in their borders. This includes the approval/denial process, penalties or the lack thereof for operating business unlicensed, the portioning of land to business owners, and other civil matters that could potentially arise concerning business owners.
• The San Andreas Department of Justice shall maintain its half of the business licensing process in this document.
• The San Andreas Department of Justice shall review business applications that are submitted in the app in a timely manner. The San Andreas Department of Justice shall approve or deny business licenses based on a review of the content therein, the potential legal ramifications of said business, whether or not it would be legal to operate it in the State of San Andreas, and/or any other potential issues that a Judge/Justice might observe.
• A Judge/Justice may approve the Justice portion of the business application, at which time any Justice or Judge may issues the business license using the process below.

The submitter must have a MDT profile. It is recommended but not required to also include your phone number in the description. When choosing a location, you must OWN that property. If you do not own a property for your business yet, this can be updated in the future. This condition can also be waived by accompanying legislation of the county the business will be located in. Owning a property is not a requirement for most businesses. You will be issued the Business License when you find a Judge/Justice and are billed $50000 by said Judge/Justice. The Judge/Justice will then activate your business via the Business app. All Business Stash locations are and will be known by Law Enforcement. The Judge/Justice that issues the license shall note it on the license receivers MDT profile with any supporting information that might be required to support the issuing.

Conclusion

We hope that these guidelines will provide a common sense path for citizens to open their own business in the State of San Andreas, while also allowing the freedom of each county to govern the businesses within themselves how they deem appropriately.
