Texas Gov. Abbott signs law allowing kids to run lemonade stands

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill into law that allows kids to run lemonade stands without fear of being shut down.

The law goes into effect in September and prohibits cities and neighborhood associations from implementing rules that block or regulate children trying to sell nonalcoholic drinks such as lemonade on private property, according to the Texas Tribune.

Republican state Rep. Matt Krause introduced the bill after police shut down a lemonade stand that was run by two daughters trying to raise money for a Father's Day gift in 2015. The bill was unanimously passed in both chambers and Abbott signed the bill on Monday.

"Here's a common sense law," Abbott said as he signed the bill.

It’s now legal for kids to sell lemonade at stands.

We had to pass a law because police shut down a kid’s lemonade stand.

Yes.  Some municipalities require a license to have a "Lemonade stand".  Some police entities have been overzealous in the enforcement of the law.

Yes, it is.  However, Abbott lets them make lemonade out of lemons.

The children must be made to respect their authority even if the enforcers are dumb asses.
