This bill amends the Code of West Virginia, specifically section 11-12-3, to clarify that individuals who have obtained a business registration certificate to operate in West Virginia will not be required to obtain a separate business registration license from any municipality or county. The new legal language added states that "any person who has obtained a business registration certificate under this section, may not be required to obtain any business registration license by a municipality or county."

Additionally, the bill makes several modifications to the existing language regarding the requirements for obtaining a business registration certificate. It changes the wording from "shall" to "may" in various contexts, indicating a shift from mandatory to permissive language regarding compliance with certain provisions for different types of businesses. The bill also maintains existing exemptions and penalties related to business registration, ensuring that small businesses with gross income of $4,000 or less are exempt from both registration and tax requirements.
