Bill Of Constitution The Bill of Rights comprises the first ten amendments to the State Of Los Santos Constitution. The Bill of Rights amendments add to the Constitution specific guarantees of personal freedoms and rights, clear limitations on the government's power in judicial and other proceedings, and explicit declarations that all powers not specifically granted to the Government by the Constitution are reserved for the state or the people. Statute of Limitations A statute of limitations is a law passed by a legislative body to set the maximum time after an event within which legal proceedings may be initiated. When the time which is specified in a statute of limitations passes, a claim might no longer be filed or, if it is filed, it may be subject to dismissal on the grounds that the claim was filed after the statutory limitations period. When a statute of limitations expires in a criminal case, the courts no longer have jurisdiction. Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, commenting, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favour of fair use. 2

Fair Employment Act The Fair Employment Act requires all employers not to “discriminate against any persons on account of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or national origin in matters of employment”. Discrimination is the act of making unjustified distinctions between human beings based on their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, etc. which often leads to people being treated in a way that is worse than how others are treated, and involves restricting them from opportunities and privileges that are available to others. Employers may only consider criminal history within the past TEN (10) days for misdemeanors and felonies and TWENTY (20) days for any capital charges (those highlighted in red in the Penal Code). Any criminal history prior to the aforementioned time may not be considered while reviewing applicants for employment to determine their eligibility. Penalty : In case any establishment is found to be discriminatory, the Department of Justice reserves the right to assess penalties on a case by case basis such as: ● Financial penalties ● Revocation of business NOCs and agreements ● Legal proceedings against the management.
