Description

This defined who is considered a street vendor (comerciante ambulante) for labor and social security purposes. It described street vending as small-scale selling in public spaces or door-to-door. It helped standardize how this type of work is treated under labor and social security rules. This mattered because it affected how informal commerce could be classified in legal and administrative settings.
