Approved March 26, 1946
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That section one of chapter two hundred fifty-six of the Acts of
Assembly of nineteen hundred forty-two, approved March eighteen, nine-
teen hundred forty-two, be amended and re-enacted, as follows:

Section 1. The board of supervisors or other governing body of
any county in this State is hereby authorized and empowered as herein
defined to regulate by ordinances the location and operation in the county
of trailer camps ag herein defined. Such ordinances may require a hi-
cense to be obtained and impose a license tax upon every person, firm,
corporation, and association who or which operates a trailer camp in
such county, may prescribe the period for which such license shall be ef-
fective, which period may be a full year or any part thereof with lower
charges for portions of a year than are prescribed for annual licenses,
and may prescribe the tax to be paid for such license which tax may be
based upon the maximum number of trailers which are permitted by such
license to be parked or placed or accommodated at such camp at any one
time. As a condition to the issuance of such licenses, or as a condition
to the operation and occupancy of such trailer camps, the board of super-
visors or other governing body may prescribe by ordinances the lots or
areas of the county where such trailer camps may be located, may pre-
scribe the size of the lots to be used for such trailer camps, may prescribe
the water supply, sewerage and garbage disposal facilities to be main-
tained at such trailer camps, provided such sanitary regulations are not
in conflict with the lawful regulations of the State Board of Health, may
prescribe safety measures for the heating facilities maintained in such
trailers, and may prescribe such other measures as are reasonably nec-
essary to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the people of the coun-
ty and the occupants of such trailer camps.

Any person, firm, corporation, or association violating any of the
ordinances enacted under the authority of this act shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be fined not less than fifty
dollars ($50.00) nor more than five hundred dollars ($500.00).
