Bill Summary
An act relating to statewide data sharing of secondhand dealer, secondary metals recycler, and pawnbroker transactions; amending ss. 538.04, 538.19, 538.32, and 539.001, F.S.; requiring secondhand dealers, secondary metals recyclers, and pawnbrokers to transmit specified records to the Department of Law Enforcement for the purpose of statewide data sharing; providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that secondhand dealers, secondary metals recyclers, and pawnbrokers must transmit specified transaction records to the Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) for the purpose of statewide data sharing, aiming to enhance law enforcement's ability to track stolen goods and criminal activity. This means that businesses dealing in used items, scrap metal, or offering loans against personal property will be required to share detailed information about their transactions, including descriptions of items, seller information, and digital photographs, with the state. The bill amends existing laws to include the FDLE in the reporting requirements, ensuring that this data is collected and accessible statewide, and it specifies that this new requirement will take effect on July 1, 2026.
