Bill > SB0916

This bill amends the 1917 PA 350 law to regulate and license second-hand dealers and junk dealers in Michigan. Key provisions include: 1) Requiring second-hand dealers who use automated recycling kiosks to receive articles to obtain a license in the city, county, or village where the kiosk is installed. It also exempts certain "internet drop-off stores" from needing a license if they meet specific conditions. 2) Allowing mayors, county executives, or village chiefs to grant licenses to second-hand dealers and junk dealers, with the license designating the specific place of business. Licenses are valid for one year and non-transferrable. 3) Defining terms like "automated recycling kiosk," "second-hand dealer," and "junk dealer" to clarify who is subject to the law. 4) Requiring second-hand dealers and junk dealers to maintain detailed records of purchases and sales, including descriptions, identities of individuals involved, and method of payment. 5) Requiring second-hand dealers and junk dealers to hold onto purchased items for a certain period (30-90 days) before disposal, and to provide weekly reports to local law enforcement. The bill aims to update regulations around second-hand and junk dealers, particularly those using new automated technologies like recycling kiosks, to assist law enforcement efforts.
