  • The governing board of a
      municipal corporation shall not by ordinance or  otherwise  regulate  or
      prohibit  the  pursuit  or exercise of hawking and peddling farm produce
      except  hay  and  straw  within  the  limits  of  any   such   municipal
      corporation,  if  such farm produce is hawked or peddled by the producer
      thereof, or his servants or employees; nor shall the governing board  of
      any such municipal corporation pass an ordinance requiring such producer
      of  farm  produce to secure a license for peddling and hawking such farm
      produce within the  limits  of  such  municipal  corporation.    Nothing
      contained  herein  shall  affect  any  pending  action  or proceeding to

      regulations. Nothing in this section shall be construed to permit wagons
      from  which  farm produce is sold to stand in front of stores or private
      residences for a longer time than may be  necessary  for  the  sale  and
      delivery  of  produce  purchased  by  the  occupants  of  such stores or
      residences; nor to permit the  congregating  of  such  wagons  upon  any
      street  or  thoroughfare  not  set apart by the municipality as a public
      market for the sale of farm produce. This section  shall  not  apply  to
      villages, or to cities of the first class.
