AI Summary
This bill authorizes local governments in Virginia to exempt businesses, trades, professions, and occupations that are regulated by boards within the Department of Health Professions from local license taxes. License taxes are fees that local governments can charge businesses for the privilege of operating within their jurisdiction. The Department of Health Professions oversees various licensing boards that regulate healthcare professionals and other licensed occupations. This change, found in subsection B of Section 58.1-3703 of the Code of Virginia, adds these regulated businesses to a list of entities that localities already have the option to exempt from these taxes, alongside existing exemptions for certain computer software businesses and private companies involved in educational facility construction.
