NSG Senate Chamber [NSG Senate]

[Mishmahig]

Because they aren't taking it from legitimate business owners. The legitimate business owners are claiming what is rightfully theirs.

Clarify for me. I'm literally confused.

The workers are the true business owners, not the CEOs, or some such.

Not really. A business is the property of whoever owns it. In other words, the founder of the business and anyone who he sold shares to. A worker can buy his own share if he so wishes to own. CEOs don't always own shares in businesses by the way; they are technically workers, not owners.

[Yanalia]

Debate out of the chamber, please.

I don't agree with it, good sir/madam. I was simply rephrasing what I'm relatively sure their reasoning is.

Either way, updated vote count:

I'd like to add this to the queue.

Food Vendor Act

Drafted by: Liberated Counties [CFE]
Sponsored By: Byzantium Imperial [NIFP] Polvia [RG] Potenco [RG] Ainin [TRP] Divair [CSP] Pyreneesia

RECOGNISING The fact that people often find themselves desiring a snack when away from home.

NOTING Restaurants are sometimes too expensive to always eat at when away from home.

HEREBY Allows citizens to apply for permits to sell food on public premises.

DEFINES A Food Vendor as a person who sells food, however not inside a Cafè, Restaurant or store.

Section 1: Permits

Permits will be necessary for a self-employed citizen to sell food in a certian location. Local authorities, at their own discretion, are responsible for providing small tracts of public area to acquire permits for, providing the citizen applying for the permit is adequately qualified to be handling uncooked or pre-cooked foodstuffs. A permit is free, however a 3% profit tax will be charged to the vendor at the end of each month. In the event that all the permits are taken, the applicant can be put on a waiting list.

Section 2: Food Quality

A vendor selling food is completly liable for any illnesses or adverse effects their food may cause, however in the event of an allergy being triggered neither buyer or vendor are liable if the vendor provided adequate allergy warnings. Local authorities are to be responsible for making sure Food Vendors follow health and safety guidelines.

I'm aware of the concerns about the actual importance to this act. However this act was drafted with the goal of providing a substantial amount of jobs to low-skilled citizens who are otherwise unable to find other forms of employment.

Oh, and it's supposed to be in the plural form, because it refers to restaurants as a group.

Sorry for the grammar Nazism.
