| 1 | SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 93
| ||||||
| 2 | WHEREAS, There has been, and continues to be, a significant | ||||||
| 3 | expansion in the volume of personal property sold through | ||||||
| 4 | pawnbrokers, auction services, consignment sellers, and other | ||||||
| 5 | resellers; and
| ||||||
| 6 | WHEREAS, There has been, and continues to be, a similar | ||||||
| 7 | increase in the volume of stolen personal property sold through | ||||||
| 8 | pawnbrokers, auction services, consignment sellers, and other | ||||||
| 9 | resellers; and
| ||||||
| 10 | WHEREAS, Access by law enforcement to sales-related | ||||||
| 11 | information generated by pawnbrokers, auction services, | ||||||
| 12 | consignment sellers, and other resellers has always been an | ||||||
| 13 | important tool in combating burglary, robbery, theft, and other | ||||||
| 14 | crimes directed at personal property; and
| ||||||
| 15 | WHEREAS, Recent advances in electronic data collection and | ||||||
| 16 | compilation have greatly simplified both the reporting of | ||||||
| 17 | sales-related information by pawnbrokers, auction services, | ||||||
| 18 | consignment sellers, and other resellers; and
| ||||||
| 19 | WHEREAS, These same advances have created opportunities | ||||||

| 21 | increasingly shorter intervals after the date of sale; and
| ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | WHEREAS, Law enforcement agencies, pawnbrokers, auction | ||||||

| 3 | technology-related businesses in several states have created | ||||||
| 4 | differing systems to provide law enforcement with timely access | ||||||
| 5 | to sales-related information; therefore, be it
