Administrative History
Issuance and registration of peddlers' licenses was first required by an amendment to the Revised Statutes, Part I, Chapter 17, Title 4 (passed March 23, 1840). The license was required only of peddlers who wanted to sell goods manufactured in foreign countries. The statutory provisions relating to peddlers' licenses (General Business Law Sections 30-31) were repealed by Chapter 318 of the Laws of 1956.
