Be in enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

§ 58-266.1. City and town licenses; businesses exempt.—
In addition to the State tax on any license, as hereinbefore and
hereafter provided for in this chapter, the council of a city or
town may, when anything for which a license is so required is
to be done within the city or town, impose a tax for the privilege
of doing the same and require a license to be obtained therefor;
and in any case in which they see fit they may require from the
person licensed a bond, with sureties, in such penalty and with
such condition as they may deem proper or make other regula-
tions concerning the same.
No city or town shall impose upon or collect from any per-
son any tax, fine or other penalty for selling farm or domestic
products within the limits of any such town or city outside of
the regular market houses and sheds of such city or town; pro-
vided, such products are grown or produced by such person.
No city or town shall require a license to be obtained for
the privilege or right of printing or publishing any newspaper,
or for the privilege or right of operating or conducting any radio
or television broadcasting station or service, any charter provi-
sions to the contrary notwithstanding.
§ 58-266.2. Licenses in certain counties—The governing
body of any county in this State having a population of more
than two thousand per square mile, according to the last pre-
ceding United States census, and of any county having an area
of less than sixty square miles, is hereby authorized to levy and
to provide for the assessment and collection of county license
taxes on businesses, trades, professions, occupations and call-
ings and upon the persons, firms and corporations engaged
therein within the county, whether any license tax be imposed
thereon by the State or not; provided that no county license tax
shall be levied in any case in which the levying of a local license
tax is prohibited by any general law of this State, and provided
further that no such county shall require a license to be obtained
for the privilege or right of operating or conducting any radio
or television broadcasting station or service.
§ 58-266.3. Licenses in counties with county manager
form of government.—The governing body of any county which
has adopted the county manager form of organization and gov-
ernment provided for by chapter 11 of Title 15, when anything
for which a license is required by the State is to be done within
the county, impose, when not otherwise prohibited by general
law, a license tax for the privilege of doing the same, and require
a license to be obtained therefor; and in any case in which it
sees fit, require from the person licensed, bond, with surety, in
such penalty and with such condition as it may deem proper.
The ordinance imposing such tax shall provide for the time and
manner of collection thereof and issuance of such license. Any
license tax hereunder shall be in addition to any license tax
imposed by the State or any town in such county.
No such county shall require a license to be obtained for
printing any newspaper, or for the privilege or right of operat-
ng or conducting any radio or television broadcasting station
