No third parties, no outside sources, no unusable or uninhabited offices, no broom closets, no empty store fronts or rental space. They use the term "principal place of business"... get it wrong, it's could be 5 years in the pen.

Secondary producer thing is the pain and it is also the stupidest part of all of this. It will not for a second stop CP, it does nothing to further the state's interest, rather it just forces adult home based businesses to have to declare themselves so they can be subject to harrassment, enforcement, and local bylaws.

The intent of these rule changes is clear, the government's stated intentions have never been so obviously trumped up, and I am sure the courts will be interested to rule on the matter.

Alex: You seem to have a real handle on this stuff and I applaud you. I do have an appointment with my corporate attorney and am just trying to understand as much as I can so I can determine if HE understands as much as an attorney can.....since everyone seems to be getting different opinions from different lawyers. How safe do we feel with lawyers not even saying the same things?

Anyway, back to the place of business. I sucked in, and actually have a lease for office space, and as of June 1st, it is the major place of business for my company. Goodbye to home office and hello to a real office and it won't be a front either. I always wanted to get this out of my home anyway. Somewhat of a hardship yes, but so are the mega taxes I pay.

I am filling my brain with 2257 stuff in preparation of my appointment with the attorney.
