An Act To Amend Title 24 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Pawnbrokers, Secondhand Dealers And Scrap Metal Processors. [HB-430]

Multiple sellers bring in metal items with no one selling $250 and therefore they avoid the reporting requirement. With the current rash of copper thefts this bill will increase reporting and increase the ability to identify sellers.
