This bill pertains to Lauderdale County and seeks to amend Section 45-39-200.05 of the Code of Alabama 1975, which deals with the Office of License Commissioner and the process for renewing business licenses by mail. The bill introduces changes to the existing law by inserting new language and deleting some of the old language. The amendments include changing the wording from "shall" to "may" when referring to the engagement in business activities that require a license, and from "such" to "the" for clarity. It also updates the modes of travel for peddlers in the license description, removing "on horseback" and "on" before wagon and motor vehicle, and replacing them with "by" to modernize the language.

Additionally, the bill allows the License Commissioner to mail renewal applications to businesses and to charge a mail fee of one dollar ($1) for the service. This fee is for preparing and sending the application by first-class mail and for the return of the renewed license. The bill also grants the commissioner, with the approval of the county commission, the authority to increase the mail fee to an amount that adequately covers the costs of handling and mailing each renewed license. The changes ensure that the language is current and gives the commissioner the flexibility to adjust the mailing fee to reflect actual costs. The act will take effect immediately after its passage and approval by the Governor or otherwise becoming law.
