No municipality located in a county of the first class with a population of less than 20,000 persons shall enact an ordinance establishing fees or other charges in excess of $50.00 for the right to operate an autocab. The provisions of any existing ordinance establishing fees or other charges in excess of this amount for each cab operated are null and void and any excess fee or charge shall be returned to the owner of the autocab.
