Senate Bill 13, the Business Licensing Act, established a system in December 2021 to monitor and track registered businesses within the State of San Andreas. This system utilizes San Andreas Organization Licenses (SAOL) to accomplish this goal.
SAOLs are permits granted by the Senate Licensing Committee (the Committee) to recognize and authorize businesses and other organizations (such as charities) to operate within this State. They take record of the registered organization owner, properties owned by the organization and define the scope of that organization's operations.
In brief, all residents living within the State of San Andreas may apply for a SAOL. However, in order for the Committee to approve of your application, there are some criteria that should be met by the applicant and by the organization.
Applicants must not be convicted felons within this State. Reformed felons who wish to apply for a SAOL are encouraged to speak with a member of the Court about expunging their record.
In special circumstances, the Committee may recognize a waiver produced by a majority vote in the Senate to allow a convicted felon to operate an organization.
Applicants must not have outstanding taxes or other debts within this State.
Applicants must agree to holding liability for fines, fees and penalties issued against their organization should said organization be insolvent or otherwise unable to pay such fines, fees and penalties.
Applicants must maintain residency within this State for a period of no less than thirty (30) days before applying for a SAOL.
Applicants are encouraged to maintain this residence for the during of their licenses. Per Senate Bill 18, an Act to Improve the Local Economy, all business owners must maintain such residency for the duration of their license.
Employees of any organization must pay their employees a minimum of $30 per working hour per the Charlie Act.
An organization must have a limited scope of operability. In other words, an organization may not receive an "open-ended" license to operate.
An organization's operational scope must not violate any legal code or act, such as the Criminal Code.
