Street vendor rules go into effect as vendors fear minimum $1,500 licensing costs

Street vendors in unincorporated Clark County are seemingly less visible than usual as rules to regulate them go into effect. Clark County Commissioners approved their own set of rules in mid-April. Each jurisdiction in Clark and Washoe Counties is required to do so following the 2023 passage of Senate Bill 92.

Cooking food in the sidewalk and selling to the public is a health problem. You have emissions from semi trucks people spitting on the floor no wash sinks with hot water etc. I know you need to make a living but this is just unsanitary. Who do you sue if you get food poisoning. Will they have insurance for their street food business? I mean this is so wrong on all levels.

Who made the requirements to stay away from parks and schools? I personally don’t buy from street vendors but I see kids line up to buy from them all the time. Seems like the rules were written up by someone in a comfy government job with no idea of how the city actually works. A simple meal at McDonalds can easily cost $15 dollars. Street vendors seem like a good option for low income kids or adults. Plus most of the vendors set up shop in low income parts of the city anyways.
