Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 58-266.1, as amended, of the Code of Virginia be amended and
reenacted as follows:

§ 58-266.1. In addition to the State tax on any license, as herein-
before 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 regulations concerning the same.

No city or town shall impose upon or collect from any person any tax,
fine or other penalty for selling farm or domestic products or nursery
products, ornamental or otherwise, or for the planting of nursery products,
as an incident to the sale thereof, within the limits of any such town or
city outside of the regular market houses and sheds of such city or town;
provided, 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 sta-
tion or service, any charter provisions to the contrary notwithstanding.
