           Original Committee Reference:    B. & P.  

           SUMMARY  :  Corrects technical errors in laws related to junk  
          dealers and recyclers.  

           The Senate amendments  correct a typographical error in the title  
          of the bill and repeal a duplicate code section.   

           EXISTING LAW  :

          1)Prohibits a junk dealer or recycler from providing payment for  
            nonferrous material, as defined, unless the payment is made by  
            cash or check, the check is mailed or the cash or check is  
            provided no earlier than three days after the date of sale,  
            and the dealer or recycler obtains a photograph or video of  
            the seller and certain other identifying information, as  
            specified, which information is to be retained by the dealer  
            or recycler for two years. 

          2)Requires a junk dealer or recycler to allow for periodic  
            inspection of any premises maintained for purposes of  
            determining compliance with the recordkeeping requirements,  
            and, upon inspection, to produce his or her sales and purchase  
            records.

           AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY  , this bill corrected technical errors  
          in laws related to junk dealers and was substantially similar to  
          the version approved by the Senate.
           
          FISCAL EFFECT  :  Unknown.  This bill is keyed non-fiscal.
