§ 556.13 - PO compliance with State or local laws.

(a) Licensing, certification, or registration with State or local authorities may be required for POs engaging in certain activities such as raffles or insurance operations. In approving a permit to operate, the installation commander will decide whether the PO should request a written statement from State or local commissions as to how State laws, local laws, or other requirements apply. The commander will consult with the local SJA office in making this decision.

(b) POs are not exempt from State or local law because they operate on Federal property. This regulation does not require licensing, certification, or registration of PO activities unless specifically required by State or local authorities. The licensing requirement applies only in the State containing the Federal property in which the PO operates.
