CHAPTER 12 - SPECIAL LAWS AFFECTING SMALL BUSINESS

The number of state and federal laws that can affect a business is so large that it is impossible to cover all of them within the covers of any one book. There are, however, certain federal and state laws that affect almost all small businesses. They include laws governing your duty to report product hazards, your right to obtain federal agency records, your duty to report environmental hazards, your duty to obtain medical certification of commercial drivers, updating your corporate records, commercial arbitration clauses, and immigration laws.
