Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 61.1-55 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 61.1-55. Commission and basket charge.
No person, firm, association, corporation, partnership, copartnership or other
legal entity, who or which operates any warehouse in which burley tobacco is
sold at public auction, shall charge or receive any commission in excess of
three four percent of the sales price of such tobacco, nor shall any
basket charge be in excess of twenty-five cents per basket, which commission and basket charge
shall constitute the entire amount charged by the warehouse operator in connection with such
sale; provided, however, that on or before the opening day of the market in any
year, the warehouse operator may elect to charge a commission of not exceeding
seventy-five cents per 100 pounds, which commission shall constitute the entire
charge made in connection with the sale of tobacco throughout that market
season at the warehouse for which such election is made.
