The MAP pilot program shall be implemented 120 days after passage, and shall expire two years thereafter.

SECTION 2.  Section 18 ¾ of chapter 6A of the General Laws, as appearing in the 2008 Official Edition, is hereby amended by adding after subsection (9) the following:-

(10) to develop and implement, in conjunction with the criminal history systems board and the department of public safety, an electronic registration and licensing system for recording, updating and communicating among criminal justice agencies of the executive office, the attorney general, municipal officials, municipal police departments, and district attorneys, all purchasing information of “junk dealers” and “pawnbrokers” deemed required by the secretary.
