Chap. 221.—An ACT to amend and re-enact sections 546 and 549 of the Code
of Virginia, with reference to licenses issued by commissioners of the revenue.

Approved March 12, 1908.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That sections
five hundred and forty-six and five hundred and forty-nine of the Code
of Virginia be amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

§546. Individual and corporate names to be stated in license, but not
of silent partners.—Where a license is granted to a company, firm or
corporation, such license shall specify the individual names of the per-
sons composing the company or firm or the name of the corporation, and
if a corporation, whether domestic or foreign; and any person, firm or
corporation exercising any of the privileges of the license not so named,
identified or designated, shall be held to be transacting the business,
employment, or profession without a license; but this section shall not
apply to any silent partner whom it might be lawful to include nor any
person who may be added to the firm after the granting of such license.

§549. Every license shall designate place of business, and if a cor-
poration, whether domestic or foreign.—Every license granting authority
to engage in or exercise any business, employment or profession, unless
expressly authorized elsewhere or otherwise, shall designate the place
of such business, employment or profession at some specified house or
other definite place within the district of the commissioner granting it,
and also, if granted to a corporation, whether such corporation be do-
mestic or foreign, and if foreign, the date of the authority to transact
business in this State issued by the State corporation commission. En-
gaging in or exercising any such license, business, employment, or pro-
fession elsewhere than at such house or definite place, unless expressly
authorized elsewhere or otherwise by law, shall be held to be without
license. A license which does not specify such house or definite place
where business, employment or profession is limited thereto by law, or
if granted to a foreign corporation, which fails to specify the date of
the authority to transact business in this State, issued by the State cor-
poration commission, shall be void.
