Relating to CRIME REDUCTION.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that it is often difficult to identify stolen property that is sold by pawnbrokers and secondhand dealers. The purpose of this Act is to reduce or eliminate the sale of stolen property by authorizing the chief of police, rather than the dealer, to choose the manner by which pawnbrokers and secondhand dealers must submit records of transactions required under section 486M‑2, Hawaii Revised Statutes, upon request by the chief of police.
SECTION 2. Section 486M-2, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"§486M-2 Record of transactions. Every dealer, or the agent, employee, or representative of the dealer shall, immediately upon receipt of any article, record the following information, on a form authorized by the chief of police in each county:
(1) The name and address of the dealer;
(2) The name, residence address, date of birth, and the age of the person from whom the article was received;
(3) The date and time the article was received by the dealer;
(4) The signature of the person from whom the article was received;
(5) The Hawaii [[]driver's[]] license
number, or if the person does not possess a Hawaii [[]driver's[]]
license, the number of and description of any government issued identification
which bears a photograph of the person from whom the article was received;
(6) A complete and accurate description of the article received, including all markings, names, initials, and inscriptions;
(7) A reasonable estimate of the fineness and weights of the precious and semiprecious metals and precious and semiprecious gems received; and
(8) The price paid by the dealer for each article.
Upon request and at the discretion of the chief
of police of each county, copies of all completed forms required by this
section shall be surrendered, mailed, or electronically inputted and
transmitted via modem or by facsimile transmittal to the chief of police or to
the chief of police's authorized representative. The method of submittal to
the chief of police shall be at the option of the [dealer.] chief of
police."
SECTION 3. This Act does not affect rights and duties that matured, penalties that were incurred, and proceedings that were begun before its effective date.
SECTION 4. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 5. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
