The girl lives in Michigan, not Texas. That law has nothing to do with this. The lemonade fundraiser already happened without any sort of zoning or permit issues.
You missed the point. Government getting in the way when it isn't needed. Not about Michigan.

The issue was the kids not having a vendors permit. They were moved to allow for traffic.

There are two little girls in my neighborhood who run a lemonade stand every year. They make the most disgusting lemonade I have ever tasted. It's an odd combination of very watery and way too sour. I'm not sure how they pull it off that interesting combination, but somehow they do. The other neighbors have discussed the taste with us, and we all agree it's terrible. And we all buy it anyway. They charge $0.50/cup. We all pay $0.75 or $1.00 for each cup, stand in their long line for our respective cups, and pretend that it tastes great. It's not about the money, folks

No. I'm coloring you critical and perhaps rude. As I said in my post, it's not about the money, it's about the girls taking the effort to set up the stand, make something themselves, buy the goods that are required to make a profit off it, and see the fruits of their labor. Taste is irrelevant. Besides, do you really want to tell a 6 year old girl her lemonade tastes like crap? I'm sure not going to be the one to say it, and no one else in the neighborhood is either. We get a good laugh about it, but we are proud of them nevertheless.

Let a 6 yr old feel good about herself. Maybe an 8 yr old. But at some point you have to tell Sally she can't sing very well because eventually someone else will (i.e. classmates) and they may not do it so nicely.
So the gal turned it around and made her incident into a profit for her cause. Seen it many times..
As to the two little gals with poor quality of product, hand them a recipe book, teach them how to improve .I see this as an opportunity for each to benefit.
Otherwise two kids are just learning that ppl will buy poorly made products - which now that I think about .. Some do! Welcome to A-Mir-re-ka!
