governmental enterprise

Read a random definition: Res Ipsa Loquitur

A quick definition of governmental enterprise:

A governmental enterprise is a project or business venture that is undertaken by a government body, such as a parks department that creates a public park. It is different from a regular business because it is owned and operated by the government. For example, a city might run a bus service or a water treatment plant as a governmental enterprise.

A more thorough explanation:

A governmental enterprise is an organization or venture that is undertaken by a governmental body. This can include things like a parks department creating a public park.

Another definition of governmental enterprise is used in federal anti-racketeering law. It refers to an individual, partnership, corporation, association, union, or other legal entity that is associated with illegal activity. The enterprise must be ongoing and separate from the illegal activity it engages in.

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, an employee who is employed by an enterprise is entitled to minimum-wage and overtime benefits.

For example, a city's parks department is a governmental enterprise because it is an organization created by the government to provide public parks. On the other hand, a group of individuals who engage in illegal activities together, such as drug trafficking, could be considered a governmental enterprise under federal law.
