Any locality may adopt an ordinance imposing a license tax, in

such license plates under the provisions of Article 6 (§ 46.2-662 et seq.) of
Chapter 6 of Title 46.2, §§ 46.2-1554 and 46.2-1555, are not in a public dump,

parts for the repair of another vehicle. Nothing in this section shall be
applicable to any vehicle being held or stored by or at the direction of any
governmental authority, to any vehicle owned by a member of the armed forces on
active duty or to any vehicle regularly stored within a structure.
