to read as follows:
ARTICLE I. IN GENERAL
Sec. 17-16 License required: basis of one year
A tax is hereby imposed by the Village upon each and every
business, profession and occupation having a business location or
branch office within the Village, in the respective amounts set forth
in Section 17-33 of this Code. In addition, each and every such business,
' profession and occupation which directly engages in interstate commerce,
or which competes with any business, profession or occupation engaged
in interstate commerce, shall be licensed pursuant to this Code in the
respective amounts set forth in Section 17-34L. Unless otherwise stated,
the amount of such tax specified shall be on the basis of one year.
Sec. 17-17 Registration required.
Any person who engages in any business, occupation or profession
within the Village not required to be licensed hereunder, shall be cer-
tified with the licensing officer by executing an information form
provided by the Village. The purpose of such certification is to provide
the Village with information concerning those who are doing business
within the Village and, where appropriate, to assure the Village that
such persons are licensed countywide by the County of Palm Beach, Florida.
The fee for this certification shall be two dollars ($2.00). Anyone
violating this provision by failing to register the required information
with the licensing office shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor of the
second degree.
Sec. 17-18 Application for license.
Before the Village shall be required to issue a license for
engaging in or carrying on any of the businesses, professions or
occupations specified and set forth herein, it shall be the duty of the
' applicant to file an application with the licensing officer, such
application to be in the form required by the Village and such applicant
shall be required to furnish to the Village such other information not
contained in the application as the Village Manager may require.
Sec. 17-19 Issuance of license; duration; half-year license;
when due and payable.
All licenses shall expire on the thirtieth day of September of
each year. No license shall be issued for more than one year. For
each license obtained between September first and March thirty-first, the
full tax for one year shall be paid except as hereinafter provided. For
each license obtained between April first and September first, one-half
(1/2) of the full tax for one year shall be paid except as otherwise
provided. A half.-year license issued pursuant to the provisions of this
article, however, shall be granted only as an initial license. Subse-
quent licenses must be issued on a full-year basis regardless of the date
of application, except where a period of at least five (5) subsequent
consecutive years without a license has elapsed in which case the
characteristics of an initial license will apply provided all other
provisions of this article are fully satisfied. Upon payment of such
tax, the license shall expire at the end of the period for which such
license is issued as hereinabove specified.
Sec. 17-20 License renewal; delinquency penalty.
All licenses issued hereunder may be renewed without penalty no
later than September thirtieth by application of the license holder.
Licenses not renewed by October first shall be considered delinquent and
subject to a delinquency penalty of ten percent (10%) of the full year
license fee for the month of October, plus an additional five percent
(5`/°) penalty for each month of delinquency thereafter until paid. The
total delinquency penalty shall never exceed twenty-five percent (25%)
of the full year license fee for that applicant, in addition to the
license fee set forth herein.
State law reference-Delinquency penalties, F.S. 205.063.
Sec. 17-21 How tax construed as to specified professions.

auditors or accountants, dentists, draftsmen, civil engineers, lawyers,
osteopaths, chiropractors, chiropidists, phrenologists, physicians or
surgeons, real estate salesmen, or other similar professions, shall be
construed to mean that each individual shall pay the tax herein provided,
whether practicing by himself or in partnership or employed by another.
Sec. 17-22 Special permit for nonprofit enterprise.
The licensing officer shall issue special permits, without
payment of any license fees or other charges therefor, to any person
or organization for the conduct or operation of a nonprofit enterprise,
either regularly or temporarily, when he finds that the applicant
operates without private profit, for a public, charitable, educational,
literary, fraternal or religious purpose.
a.) Application for special permit. An applicant for a special
permit shall submit an application therefor to the
licensing officer,.upon forms prescribed by said officer,
and shall furnish such additional information and make such
affidavits as the licensing officer shall require.
b.) Special permittees must conform. A person operating under
a special permit shall operate his nonprofit enterprise
in compliance with this section and all other rules and
regulations.
State law reference-Exemption for charitable, etc., activities,
F.S. 205.192.
Sec. 17-23 Declaration where fee depends on variable factors within
applicant's knowledge,
Whenever the amount of the license applied for depends upon the
amount of stock in trade carried by the applicant, or the number of
sleeping rooms in a hotel, motel, apartment, or rooming house, etc., or
the amount of capital invested in the business, or the number of seats
or spaces in a restaurant, etc., or the number of employees, or the
number of vehicles, or any other facts not within the personal know-
ledge of the licensing officer, no license shall be issued until the
applicant therefor has made and filed with the licensing officer a
declaration setting forth the amount of stock in trade, the number of
sleeping rooms, the amount of invested capital, the number of seats or
spaces, the number of employees, the number of vehicles, or other facts
upon which the amount of such license depends, which to the best of the
applicant's knowledge and belief is true, correct and complete.

Business licenses granted or issued under the provisions of
this article may be transferred with the approval and written authori-
zation of the licensing officer endorsed thereon, with the business for
which they were taken out when there is a bona fide sale and transfer of
the property used and employed in the business, but such transferred li-
cense shall not be held good for any longer time or any other place
than that for which it was originally issued; provided, that the
original license shall be surrendered and filed with the licensing offi-
cer at the time application for transfer is made, and such transferred
license after being approved shall be of the same force and effect as the
original license. At the time any such license is transferred, the
person applying for such transfer shall pay to the licensing officer
a transfer fee of three dollars ($3.00).

Sec. 17-25 Transfer of license to new location.
Business licenses may also be transferred from location to
location with the approval and written authorization of the licensing

was originally issued remains unaffected, but such transferred license
shall not be held good for any longer time or any other place than that
for which it was originally issued; provided that the original license
shall be surrendered to and filed with the licensing officer at the
time application for transfer is made, and such transferred license
after being approved shall be of the same force and effect as the
original license. At the time any such license is transferred, the

destroyed, without any willful conduct on the part of the licensee,
upon the filing by the licensee of a statement attesting to such fact.
Sec. 17-28 Doing business not covered by license; license obtained
by false statements void ab initio.

trade or profession not covered by such license, nor shall it protect
any merchant doing business with a greater stock in trade than covered
by such license, or any hotel keeper or rooming house keeper having a
greater number of rooms than is covered by such license. Any license
issued upon any false statement made under oath shall be considered
as void ab initio and shall not protect the holder thereof from
prosecution for transacting business without a license.
Sec. 17-29 Compliance by principal deemed compliance by agent;
noncompliance of principal.
Where the principal, master or employer has complied with the
provisions of this article, it shall be unnecessary for his agent,
servant or employee to comply herewith, unless otherwise expressly
provided for herein; provided, however, that in the event such prin-
cipal, master or employer shall not have complied with this article,
each of his agents, servants or employees shall be subject to prose-
cution, and upon conviction, to fine or imprisonment to the same extent

ARTICLE II. BUSINESSES LOCATED OUTSIDE
VILLAGE LIMITS*
Sec. 17-34 Certificate of business regulation required; basis of
one year
Pursuant to Section 166.221, Florida Statutes, a regulatory
fee is hereby imposed by the Village in the respective amounts set forth
in Section 17-34L of the Code, for the regulation of any business,
profession and occupation carried on within the municipal boundaries of
the Village when such business, profession and occupation does not have
t a place of business within the Village. This regulation is instituted
and is related to consumer protection afforded the citizens of the
Village and such classes of business, profession and occupation whose
regulation has not been pre-empted by the state or county and to protect
the general welfare, safety and public health and morals of the res-
idents of the Village. Unless otherwise stated, the amount of such
regulatory fee specified shall be on the basis of one year.
Sec. 17-34-A Registration required.
Any person who engages in any business, occupation or
profession within the Village not required to obtain a certificate of
regulation as herein provided such as general contractors and sub-
contractors, shall be certified with the licensing officer of the
Village by executing an information form provided by the Village. The
purpose of such certification is to provide the Village with information
concerning those who are doing business within the Village, and, where
appropriate, to assure the Village that such persons are licensed
county-wide by the County of Palm Beach, Florida. The fee for this
certification shall be two dollars ($2.00). Anyone violating this
provision by failing to register the required information with the
licensing officer shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor of the
second degree.
' Sec. 17-34-B Application for certificate of regulation.
Before the Village shall be required to issue a certificate
of regulation for engaging in or carrying on any of the businesses,
professions or occupations specified and set forth herein, it shall be
the duty of the applicant to file an application with the licensing
officer, such application to be in the form required by the Village
and such applicant shall be required to furnish to the licensing offi-
cer such other information not contained in the application as the
Village Manager may require.
Sec. 17-34-C Issuance of certificate of regulation; duration; half-

All certificates of regulation sahll expire on the thirtieth
day of September of each year. No certificate shall be issued for more
than one year. For each certificate obtained between September first

cept as hereinafter provided. For each certificate obtained between
April first and September first, one-half (1/2) of the full fee for
one year shall be paid, except as otherwise provided. A half-year
certificate issued pursuant to the provisions of this article,
however, shall be granted only as an initial certificate. Subsequent
certificates must be issued on a full year basis, regardless of the
date of application, except where a period of at least five (5)
' subsequent consecutive years without a certificate has elapsed in which
case the characteristics of an initial certificate will apply, provided
all other provisions of this article are fully satisfied. Upon payment
of such fee, the licensing officer shall issue to the person paying
the same, a receipt for the certificate of regulation signed by such
licensing officer, which receipt or certificate shall expire at the
end of the period for which such certificate is issued as hereinabove
specified.
Sec. 17-34-D Certificate of regulation renewal; delinquency penalty.
All certificates of regulation issued hereunder may be
renewed without penalty no later than September thirtieth upon
application of the certificate holder. Certificates not renewed by
October first shall be considered delinquent and subject to a delin-
quency penalty of ten percent (10%) of the full year certificate fee
for the month of October, plus an additional five percent (5%) penalty
for each month of delinquency thereafter until paid. The total
delinquency penalty shall never exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of
the full year certificate fee for that applicant.
Sec. 17-34-E Special permit for nonprofit enterprise.
The licensing officer shall issue special permits, without
payment of any certificate of regulation fees or other charges therefor,
to any person or organization for the conduct or operation of a non-
profit enterprise, either regularly or temporarily, when he finds that
the applicant operates without private profit, for a public, charitable,
' educational, literary, fraternal or religious purpose.

special permit shall submit an application therefor
to the licensing officer, upon forms prescribed by
said officer, and shall furnish such additional infor-
mation and make such affidavits as the licensing
officer shall require.
(b) Special permittees must conform. A person operating
under a special permit shall operate his nonprofit
enterprise in compliance with this section and all
other rules and regulations.
Sec. 17-34-F Duplicate certificates of regulation.
The licensing officer shall make a charge of one dollar
($1.00) for each duplicate certificate of regulation issued to replace
any certificate issued under the provisions of this article which has
been lost, stolen, defaced or destroyed, without any willful conduct
on the part of the certificate holder, upon the filing by the certi-
ficate holder of a statement attesting to such fact.
Sec. 17-34-G Doing business not covered by certificate of regulation;
certificate obtained by false statements void ab initio.
No certificate of regulation issued under the provisions of
this article shall protect any person from prosecution for transacting
any business, trade or profession not covered by such certificate.
Any certificate issued upon any false statement made under oath shall
be considered as void ab initio and shall not protect the holder
thereof from prosecution for transacting business without a certificate
of regulation.

noncompliance of principal.
Where the principal, master or employer has complied with
the provisions of this article, it shall be unnecessary for his agent,
servant or employee to comply herewith, unless otherwise expressly
provided for herein; provided, however, that in the event such principal,
master or employer shall not have complied with this article, each
of his agents, servants, or employees shall be subject to prosecution
and, upon conviction, to a fine or imprisonment to the same extent as
his principal, master or employer.
Sec. 17-34-I Suspension or revocation of certificate of regulation;
refund of fee.
' Any certificate of regulation hereafter issued by the
Village may be temporarily suspended or absolutely revoked or cancelled
by a majority vote of the Village Council, when such Council shall
have ascertained and determined, in the exercise of its sound discretion,
that such action will promote the public peace, health, safety, welfare
or harmony of the Village; provided, however, that in the case of the
revocation and cancellation of such certificate, the Village shall
