SAOLs are permits granted by the the Department of Labor to recognize and authorize businesses and other organizations (such as charities) to operate within San Andreas. They take record of the registered organization owner, properties owned by the organization and define the scope of that organization's operations.
Applicants must be a citizen for more than 30 days.
Applicants must be in good financial standing with the State.
Applicants must not be convicted felons within the State.
Felons who wish to apply for a SAOL should seek a record expungement through the Law Courts.
In special circumstances, a felon may receive a waiver through a majority vote of the Senate.
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.
Applicants may submit their application in person at the State Capitol Building with Guillermo Bravales, Director of Citizen Services with the Department of Labor. Licensing fees may also be paid here.
As a license holder, you agree to:
Be responsible for the organization and functioning of the organization.
Be responsible for adherence to legislations and regulations concerning the organization, including ensuring that ownership partners comply with the above applicant criteria.
Be liability for fines, fees and penalties should the organization become insolvent or otherwise unable to pay such fines, fees and penalties.
No, only one person may be the license holder for an organization. However, the license holding may divide their ownership stake amongst partners in any manner of their choosing, provided such partners meet the applicant criteria for a license. All ownership stakes must be reported to the Department of Labor.
