Laws and Liability in the State of California:
The New York State Liquor Authority ("SLA" or "Authority") and it's agency arm, the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) were established as part of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law (ABC Law) in 1934. The ABC Law was enacted by the Legislature to provide for the protection, health, welfare and safety of the people of the State.
The SLA has two main functions: issuing licenses and permits; and ensuring compliance with the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law. The Authority's licensing activities focus on the timely processing of permits and licenses. The Authority's enforcement activities focus on the protection of the public by working with local law enforcement agencies and local communities to bring administrative actions against licensees who violate the law.
The SLA works cooperatively with licensees, applicants, local law enforcement agencies, community groups, and our other partners across the state to ensure the industry is regulated in a fair and consistent manner.
Read the article Putting the Law in Its Place: Business Ethics and the Assumption that Illegal Implies Unethical.
Many business ethicists assume that if a type of conduct is illegal, then it is also unethical. This article scrutinizes that assumption, using the rideshare company Uber's illegal operation in the city of Philadelphia as a case study. I argue that Uber's unlawful conduct was permissible. I also argue that this position is not an extreme one: it is consistent with a variety of theoretical commitments in the analytic philosophical tradition regarding political obligation (i.e. the moral duty to obey the law because it is the law). I conclude by showing why business ethicists would have a better rejoinder to the "dominant view" of business ethics associated with Milton Friedman if they dispensed with the assumption that illegal implies unethical.

The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) monitors animal and plant health, animal welfare, and the safety of food and consumer products, as well as enforcing nature legislation.
Consumers must be able to trust the safety of food and other products, which is why entrepreneurs are required to comply with national and international laws and regulations. The NVWA ensures this compliance and monitors, among other things, safe food production and sales. The NVWA does this with producers, traders and the catering industry.
The Food Safety Statement provides an overview of the information available on hazards and risks, compliance within the food supply chain, the cases of fraud and the picture of the future in the area of food safety. It contains basic information about the NVWA's view of the current state of food safety in the Netherlands.
