The bill amends Section 45-39-200.05 of the Code of Alabama 1975, specifically concerning the Office of License Commissioner in Lauderdale County. It introduces new provisions regarding the renewal of business licenses by mail. The bill allows the commissioner to charge a mail fee of one dollar ($1) for sending out renewal applications and for returning renewed licenses. Additionally, it grants the commissioner, with the approval of the county commission, the authority to increase this mail fee to cover the actual costs of handling and mailing the renewed licenses.

The bill also modifies existing language to clarify the process for obtaining a business license. It changes the wording from "shall" to "may" regarding the engagement in business activities, indicating a more permissive approach. Other adjustments include the removal of certain phrases and the addition of details about the information required on the license, such as the mode of travel for peddlers. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the licensing process and ensure that the costs associated with mailings are adequately covered.
