This amendment is sponsored by Councilmember Volan and changes the requirement that pawnbrokers, secondhand dealers, and dealers in valuable metals electronically transfer information about the customers who provide articles to those businesses to an online database within two business days of purchasing said articles. Under the amendment, these licensees must still transfer information about the article of property to the online database in a timely manner, but would only be required to transfer information about the customer in that transaction upon written consent of the customer. The amendment also provides the language for that written consent.
