Bill > H231

This bill requires licensed pawnbrokers and second-hand dealers to photograph and create a catalog with a brief description, including any identifying features, for items deposited in pawn that have a market value exceeding a certain threshold. This collected information will be maintained in an electronic database by the office of the attorney general, which is the state's chief legal officer, and will be accessible to law enforcement agencies to help identify and recover stolen property. The attorney general's office will also establish the necessary rules and regulations to put this new requirement into effect.
