THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 16000 of the Business and Professions Code is
amended to read:
   16000.  (a) The legislative body of an incorporated city may, in
the exercise of its police power, and for the purpose of regulation,
as herein provided  ,  and not otherwise, license
any kind of business not prohibited by law transacted and carried on
within the limits of its jurisdiction, including all shows,
exhibitions  ,  and lawful games, and may fix the rates of
the license fee and provide for its collection by suit or otherwise.
Any legislative body, including the legislative body of a charter
city, that fixes the rate of license fees pursuant to this
subdivision upon a business operating both within and outside the
legislative body's taxing jurisdiction, shall levy the license fee so
that the measure of the fee fairly reflects that proportion of the
activity actually carried on within the taxing jurisdiction.
   (b) No license fee levied pursuant to subdivision (a) that is
measured by the licensee's income or gross receipts, whether levied
by a charter or general law city, shall apply to any nonprofit
organization that is exempted from taxes by Chapter 4 (commencing
with Section 23701) of Part 11 of Division 2 of the Revenue and
Taxation Code or Subchapter F (commencing with Section 501) of
Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the
successor of either, or to any minister, clergyman, Christian Science
practitioner, rabbi, or priest of any religious organization that
has been granted an exemption from federal income tax by the United
States Commissioner of Internal Revenue as an organization described
in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or a successor to
that section.
   (c) Before a city, including a charter city, issues a business
license to a person to conduct business as a contractor, as defined
in Section 7026, the city shall verify that the person is licensed by
the Contractors' State License Board.
