This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to clarify that individuals who have obtained a business registration certificate to operate in the state are exempt from needing a separate business registration license from any municipality or county. The new legal language added specifies 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 adjustments to the existing language regarding business registration requirements, including changes to the wording that shifts from "shall" to "may" in various contexts, indicating a more permissive approach to compliance. The bill aims to streamline the process for businesses operating in West Virginia by reducing the regulatory burden associated with obtaining multiple licenses at different governmental levels.
