LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

SB 875, as introduced, Gaines. Pawnbrokers: definition.

Existing law regulates pawnbrokers by, among other things, limiting the maximum monthly rates a pawnbroker may charge and requiring specific posted disclosures of those rates. A knowing violation of the laws regulating pawnbrokers is a crime.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the definition of a pawnbroker.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
