## Opinion text

HOUSTON, Justice
(concurring in part and concurring in the result).
I do not concur with Part III.B of the Court’s opinion, because I am not confident that § 40-12-4(b) prohibits the imposition of any occupational tax under § 40-12-4(a). I concur completely with the remainder of the opinion, which I authored. In my opinion, the uniformity requirement of § 40-12-4(b) destroys the validity of the ordinance before us.
