Frederick County and several others were exempted from two General Assembly bills, one tightening junk yard records and another placing barbers under a licensing board. Local officials said cooperation with junk dealers negated the need for the former, while the barber bill would have imposed annual fees and exams. The session also approved a farm machinery sales tax credit by deducting the traded-in value before tax.
