- Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, except where specifically authorized by general law, when any county has pursuant to private act levied a tax on a privilege, no municipality within that county shall later levy a tax on the same privilege, and when any municipality has previously levied a tax on a privilege pursuant to general law or private act, the county in which such municipality is located shall not levy a tax on the same privilege.
