14 years ago today, cops in Iowa shut down three lemonade stands, including that of 4-year-old Abigail, pictured here. She was celling 25-cent cups of lemonade to passersby. Her crime? She didn't have a $400 permit. "If the line is drawn to the point where a 4-year-old… can't sell a couple glasses of lemonade for 25 cents, than I think the line has been drawn at the wrong spot," her dad said. Another mom whose children had their lemonade stand shut down said: “The kids were devastated. They just cried and didn't understand why.” Headlines like these are what led @Libertas to create the "Lemonade Stand Law" — a state law prohibiting local governments from requiring permits or licenses or sales taxes from minors engaged in occasional business activity. We got the last passed in Utah, our HQ state—becoming the first of its kind in the country. We've since helped over a dozen states pass similar laws. And once we got the law changed, we created @kidsmarkets—a program to help kids get into entrepreneurship (with the government off their backs!). Now this year we'll have over 100,000 kids participate around the country. More to come!
