Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That the Code of Virginia be amended by adding a section numbered
29-208.1 as follows:

§ 29-208.1. The governing body of any county or city which has
assumed responsibility for enforcement of the dog laws under §§ 29-184.2
or 29-184.5 within such county or city, may, by ordinance, provide a
method of obtaining licenses and tags of a type which shall be described
by the ordinance. Such tags may be of a uniform type, without regard
for the sex of the dog and the tax may be the same on all dogs, male, female
or unsexed. The ordinance shall also provide a method of keeping lists,
keeping accounts, how reports are to be made and how unsold tags are to
be disposed of. Insofar as such counties or cities are concerned, the
Commission shall not be controlled by the provisions of § 29-189 and
§§ 29-204 through 29-208.
