State Activity
An agent of the state is an individual or incorporated entity that, by
formal contractual arrangement with the state, exerts authority over
other individuals and/or incorporated entities, beyond the authorities
defined in contracts entered between the former and the latter, in
fulfillment of state responsibilities as enumerated in law. A state
activity is any action, proceeding, or commerce that involves agents
of the state in their official capacities. An agent of the state has
extraordinary authority by dint of contractual affiliation with the
state only when operating in his official capacity, and each agent of
the state while operating in his official capacity must act
exclusively in pursuit of specific laws, which he must be capable of
enumeratively citing upon request (either verbally or by supplying
documentation). In particular, no agent of the state can undertake an
action in his official capacity, including but not limited to
acquisition, disbursement, construction, transportation, and
collection and distribution of information, except as directed by law.
