   Three young boys in Colorado learned a harsh lesson in business and   
   regulation over Memorial Day weekend.   
      
   Jennifer Knowles, the boys’ mother, encouraged her three sons to open a   
   lemonade stand across the street from their house in the Denver suburb of   
   Stapleton, Colo., FOX 4 reported.   
      
   “I want to teach my kids about being an entrepreneur and having your own   
   business. My 6-year-old got his little toy cash register out that he got   
   when he was about 2 or 3 and he was learning how to interact with   
   customers and about customer service.”   
      
   “I want to teach my kids about being an entrepreneur and having your own   
   business."

   But within a half-hour of the boys setting up their stand, police arrived   
   inquiring about a permit.   
      
   “The police officers came over and they said that because my boys and I   
   did not have permits for a lemonade stand they shut us down and we had to   
   stop immediately,” Knowles said.   
      
   According to Knowles, a neighbor had complained to police. Knowles said   
   the boys, ages 4 to 6, were planning to donate the proceeds to Compassion   
   International, a charity group.   
      
   Communications Program Manager Alexandra Foster said that permit laws for   
   businesses run by minors are not usually enforced, but police will respond   
   if a complaint is made.   
      
   “If our inspectors go to a lemonade stand, it means we’ve received a   
   complaint, and generally complaints stem from high levels of activity or   
   noise that disrupts neighbors,” Foster said.   
      
   By contrast, neighboring Utah passed SB 81, a bipartisan bill that exempts   
   minors who operate a business from obtaining a permit.
