Bill > S126

This bill amends the General Laws of Massachusetts to define "precious metal" and "secondhand dealer," and adds new requirements for secondhand dealers and dealers in precious metals. The bill requires that weighing or measuring devices used by these businesses be sealed bi-annually by the local Sealer of Weights and Measures, and those without a physical retail location must have their devices sealed within 72 hours of any purchase or sale. The bill also requires these businesses to conspicuously post their prices for purchasing precious metals and provide a conversion chart if using metric units. Failure to comply with these provisions is considered an unfair or deceptive act under the state's consumer protection laws.
