          |           |     |2009)           |        |     |2009)          |

           Original Committee Reference:    B. & P.  

           SUMMARY  :  Adds a Matricula Consular to the specified list of  
          documents that a secondhand or coin dealer may use to verify the  
          identification of an intended seller or pledger, and provides  
          that a signature on documents used to verify identification is  
          only required 'where applicable.'   

           The Senate amendments  double-joint this bill to SB 449 (Padilla)  
          of 2009, add a sunset provision repealing this bill as of  
          January 1, 2011, and make technical, clarifying changes.
           
          EXISTING LAW  :  
           
          1)Requires secondhand dealers and coin dealers to report  
            acquisitions of tangible personal property on a daily basis to  
            local law enforcement authorities, as specified.

          2)Requires an acquisition report to include the identification  
            of the intended seller or pledger of the property and requires  
            the dealer to verify that identification.  

          3)Provides that an identification verification is valid if the  
            person taking the information reasonably relies on a specified  
            document that is currently valid or has been issued within  
            five years and contains a photograph or description, or both,  
            of the person named on it, is signed by that person, and bears  
            a serial or other identifying number. 

           AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY  , this bill is substantially similar to  
          the version approved by the Senate.
           
          FISCAL EFFECT  :   Unknown.  This bill is keyed non-fiscal.
