It's hard work, but it provides for my family and allows us to live a stable life. However, I've recently become concerned about widespread social media posts claiming a nationwide ban on street vending from 1/9/2025. I'm worried about the impact this ban would have on my livelihood and that of many others.

I'm unsure about the validity of this information. Is it just a rumor, or has an official ban been issued?

Furthermore, I'm also curious about the current regulations. Where and under what circumstances is street vending considered illegal? What are the penalties and fines for violations?
