AN ACT TO AMEND THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO STANDS OPERATED BY A CHILD.

Stands operated by children that serve or sell lemonade or other nonalcoholic beverages on a temporary, occasional basis are a summertime tradition for many children. This Act exempts a stand operated by a child from State, county, and municipal regulations and licensing fees that might otherwise apply. Specifically, this Act defines a "stand operated by a child" as one that operates on a temporary, occasional basis, serves or sells lemonade or other nonalcoholic beverages to others, and is located on private property with the permission of the private property owner. In Sections 2, 3, 4, and 6, this Act exempts a stand operated by a child from State regulations on food establishments and soft drinks and other beverages, requirements related to child labor laws, and retail license requirements. Additionally, Sections 1 and 5 of this Act broadly prohibit a county or municipality from enacting a law, ordinance, or regulation that prohibits or regulates or requires a license or permit for, or imposes a fee, charge, or surcharge on, a stand operated by a child.
