Approved April 4, 1968

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 29-65, as amended, of the Code of Virginia be amended and
reenacted as follows:

§ 29-65. Agents for sale of licenses and permits.—The Commission
shall have authority to appoint agents for the issuance and sale of the
permits provided for in this title; the Commission may designate agents
in counties, cities and towns for the issuance and sale of licenses provided
for in this title. If the clerk of any court desires to be relieved of this duty,
or gives his consent thereto in writing, the Commission shall have authority
to require its agents also to sell hunting, trapping and fishing licenses in
the place of or in addition to the clerk; provided, however, that in the coun-
ties of Caroline, Franklin and Scott the Commission may appoint not
exceeding five agents, and in the county of Pittsylvania not exceeding ten
agents, and in the city of Lynchburg not exceeding three agents, for the
sale of such permits and licenses who shall be in addition to the clerk of the
circuit or corporation court of such county or city. Such agents shall be
subject to the laws covering the issuance and sale of licenses and the
regulations of the Commission as to the issuance and sale of permits. The
compensation of agents for issuing licenses and permits shall be fixed by
the Commission but shall not be more for issuing licenses then provided
in this title for clerks of courts. Before such appointment shall become
effective, the agent shall deposit with the Commission a bond of a surety
company entitled to do business in this State, payable to the Common-
wealth, in the penalty of one thousand dollars, or such additional amount
ae nee orumiasion may require, conditioned for the faithful performance
of his duties.
