Corporate Military Limitations Act of 2299

Corporate Military Limitations Act of 2299‏‎

The unlimited excess corporate entities equipped their security forces and how they used them led to the Corporate Wars of 2117 -2129 (United Earth - Pre Union History) But the lessons learned and the effects were not lost to the Union and in 2299 the Assembly discussed, shaped and ratified a set of laws aimed to limit Corporate armies, military and the use of military grade hardware in conflict solution. While this Act has been ratified and amended several times, while the laws are quite harsh in terms of punishment. Corporate entities try to circumvent them all the time.

The act limits the class of weapons corporates can equip their forces with. It requires corporates to consult official law enforcement in cases of disputes. Some corporates who manufacture military equipment make themselves “excempt” by claiming to use “test platforms”

This was addressed in the fifth amendment of the Act (5030), only companies that are authorized manufacturers of military equipment are able to use “test platforms” And since 5050 they must restrict their tests to a test area.

The act also includes individual equipment and conduct.
