D.C. Law 14-307 rewrote subsec. (a)(1) which had read as follows: “(a)(1) The Center shall collect a fee of $25 for each master business license it issues, plus $5 for each endorsement added to the master business license.”

D.C. Law 15-38, in subsec. (a)(1), substituted “basic” for “master” wherever appearing; in subsecs. (a)(2) and (b)(2), substituted “Basic” for “Master”; in subsec. (c), deleted “inspected or uninspected” preceding “license endorsements”; and in subsec. (d), substituted “General Fund of the District of Columbia” for “general fund” and “government” for “Government”.

D.C. Law 15-354, in the section heading and subsecs. (a)(2) and (b)(2), validated previously made technical corrections.

D.C. Law 17-219 rewrote subsecs. (a)(1) and (b)(1).
