Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 58-387.1 of the Code of Virginia be amended and reenacted,
as follows:

§ 58-387.1. Except as herein otherwise provided, every practicing
medical doctor, in addition to being subject to the regulatory laws of this
State relating to the profession of medicine, shall obtain a revenue license.
A revenue license granted to practice medicine in any county or city shall
authorize such medical doctor to practice throughout the Commonwealth.
Every medical doctor who has been licensed for less than five years shall
pay a license of fifteen dollars per year; and every medical doctor who
has practiced for five years or more shall pay a license of twenty-five
dollars per year; provided, that a medical doctor whose receipts for the
preceding year were less than five hundred dollars shall pay a license of
fifteen dollars.

A medical doctor who has practiced medicine regularly * prior to
January 1, 1909, shall not be subject to the provisions of this section; nor
shall this section apply to any medical doctor who is an intern in a
licensed hospital during the twelve months next following his graduation
from medical school, provided such intern engages in no medical practice
other than as such intern during such twelve months of internship.

This section shall be in force for the license year beginning January
first, nineteen hundred fifty-two, and for every license year thereafter
until otherwise provided by law.

2. An emergency exists and this act is in force from its passage.
