I have been reading lots of forums about the new law and really want to know if we have to get a business license or not. I have read through it and know it never said you did have to get one but did it say anywhere that you don't? Wouldn't that be amazing if we didn't have to?

No it wouldn't be amazing, quite frankly. I support real businesses that collect tax and employ people and contribute to their communities.

Um yes it would. You can still (and I will) pay taxes. This is a great country and who cares so long as people are abiding by the law? Your post had nothing to do with my question so please don't respond again unless you would like to help me by giving me information to start a LEGAL BUSINESS. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

Yeah, ignore everything I said, you just keep thinking that. Good luck!

Will do! Anyways also is the new registry up that anyone knows of I want to get on it asap if it is. Thanks!

Thank you I am glad you did not ignore that part because I think that is the most important part in this whole ordeal. I am scared to call my county because they can never answer questions. Its navajo county. I already tried today and I was just passed off to a machine. *sigh. Oh well just keep trying I suppose.

I think you are just going to have to bite the bullet and call the health department and see where they are in the process of implementing the new bill. I don't think anyone here can help you 'understand' the process, as the process has not even been figured out by the county health departments. Hopefully your county has a lighter load, as from what I've seen Pima is understaffed and the staff that is there is more interested in getting people into food sanatization classes and keeping those regulations tight than they are in writing and implementing new non-hazardous food regulations (which from their definition, there is very little that is non-hazardous beyond a loaf of bread). Keep on them to get you your answers--they surely aren't going to be jumping on the opportunity for another level of regulation to oversee.

I think you were very rude and should have stayed out of it. She was asking for help. All you did was shove your opinion in her face WITHOUT helping. Only 4 posts so far and not very helpful at all.
