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 language changes include allowing the commissioner to charge a mail fee of one dollar ($1) for the mailing of renewal applications and the return of renewed licenses. Additionally, the commissioner, with the approval of the county commission, may increase this mail fee to cover the costs associated with handling and mailing the renewed licenses.

The bill also modifies existing language to clarify the conditions under which a business license must be purchased and the responsibilities of the commissioner. Notably, 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. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval by the Governor.
