Approved March 31, 1964

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 29-65, as amended, of the Code of Virginia be amended and
reenacted, as follows:

§ 29-65. The Commission shall have authority to appoint agents for
the issuance and sale of the permits provided for in this title; the Com-
mission may designate agents in towns for the issuance and sale of licenses
provided for in this title. If the clerk of any court desires to be relieved
of this duty, or gives his consent thereto in writing, the Commission shall
have authority to require its agents also to sell hunting, trapping and
fishing licenses in the place of or in addition to the clerk; provided, how-
ever, that in the counties of Franklin, Scott and Pittsylvania the Commis-
sion may appoint not exceeding five agents for the sale of such permits
and licenses who shall be in addition to the clerk of the circuit court of
such county. Such agents shall be subject to the laws covering the issu-
ance and sale of licenses and the regulations of the Commission as to the
issuance and sale of permits. The compensation of agents for issuing
licenses and permits shall be fixed by the Commission but shall not be
more for issuing licenses than provided in this title for clerks of courts.
Before such appointment shall become effective, the agent shall deposit
with the Commission a bond of a surety company entitled to do business
in this State, payable to the Commonwealth, in the penalty of one thou-
sand dollars, or such additional amount as the Commission may require,
conditioned for the faithful performance of his duties.

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