| |||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| |||||||||||||||||||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| |||||||||||||||||||||||
4 | Section 5. The Pawnbroker Regulation Act is amended by | |||||||||||||||||||||||
5 | changing Sections 5 and 10 and by adding Section 9.5 as | |||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | follows:
| |||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | (205 ILCS 510/5) (from Ch. 17, par. 4655)
| |||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | Sec. 5. Record requirements.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | (a) Except in municipalities located in counties having | |||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | 3,000,000 or more
inhabitants, every pawn and loan broker shall | |||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | keep a standard record book
that has been approved by the | |||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | sheriff of the county in which the pawnbroker
does business. In | |||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | municipalities in counties with
3,000,000 or more inhabitants, | |||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | the record book shall be approved by the police
department of | |||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | the municipality in which the pawn or loan broker does | |||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | business.
At the time of each and every loan or taking of a | |||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | pledge,
an accurate account and description, in the English | |||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | language, of all the
goods, articles and other things pawned or | |||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | pledged, the amount of money,
value or thing loaned thereon, | |||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | the time of pledging the same, the rate of
interest to be paid | |||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | on such loan, and the name and residence of the person
making | |||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | such pawn or pledge shall be printed, typed, or written in ink | |||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | in
the record book. Such entry shall include the serial number |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | or
identification number of items received which bear such
| ||||||
2 | number. Except for items purchased from dealers possessing a | ||||||
3 | federal employee
identification number who have provided a | ||||||
4 | receipt to the pawnbroker, every
pawnbroker shall also record | ||||||
5 | in his book, an accurate account and description,
in the | ||||||
6 | English language, of all goods, articles and other things | ||||||
7 | purchased or
received for the purpose of resale or loan | ||||||
8 | collateral by the pawnbroker from
any source, including other | ||||||
9 | pawnshop locations owned by the same pawnbroker, not in the | ||||||
10 | course of a pledge or loan, the time of such purchase
or | ||||||
11 | receipt and the name and address of the person or business | ||||||
12 | which sold or
delivered such goods, articles, or other things | ||||||
13 | to the pawnbroker. No entry
in such book shall be erased, | ||||||
14 | mutilated or changed.
| ||||||
15 | (b) Every pawnbroker shall require identification to be
| ||||||
16 | shown him by each person pledging or pawning any goods, | ||||||
17 | articles or other
things to the pawnbroker. If the | ||||||
18 | identification shown is a driver's license
or a State | ||||||
19 | identification card issued by the Secretary of State and | ||||||
20 | contains a
photograph of the person being identified,
only one | ||||||
21 | form of identification must be shown. If the identification | ||||||
22 | shown
is not a driver's license or a State identification card | ||||||
23 | issued by the
Secretary
of State and does not contain a | ||||||
24 | photograph, 2 forms of identification must be
shown, and one of | ||||||
25 | the 2 forms of
identification must
include his or her residence | ||||||
26 | address. These forms of identification shall
include, but not |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | be limited to, any of the following: driver's license,
social | ||||||
2 | security card, utility bill, employee or student | ||||||
3 | identification card,
credit card, or a civic, union or | ||||||
4 | professional association membership card.
In addition, in a | ||||||
5 | municipality with a population of 1,000,000 or more
| ||||||
6 | inhabitants, if the customer does not have an identification | ||||||
7 | issued by a
governmental entity containing a photograph of the | ||||||
8 | person being identified, the
pawnbroker shall photograph the | ||||||
9 | customer in color and record the customer's
name, residence | ||||||
10 | address, date of birth, social security number, gender, height,
| ||||||
11 | and weight on the reverse side of the photograph. If the | ||||||
12 | customer has no
social security number,
the pawnbroker shall | ||||||
13 | record this fact.
| ||||||
14 | A county or municipality, including a home rule unit, may | ||||||
15 | regulate a
pawnbroker's identification requirements for | ||||||
16 | persons pledging or pawning goods,
articles, or other things to | ||||||
17 | the pawnbroker in a manner that is not less
restrictive than | ||||||
18 | the regulation by the State of a pawnbroker's identification
| ||||||
19 | requirements for persons pledging or pawning goods, articles, | ||||||
20 | or other things.
A home rule unit
may not regulate a | ||||||
21 | pawnbroker's identification requirements for persons
pledging
| ||||||
22 | or pawning goods, articles, or other things to the pawnbroker | ||||||
23 | in a manner less
restrictive than the regulation by the State | ||||||
24 | of a pawnbroker's identification
requirements for persons | ||||||
25 | pledging or pawning goods, articles, or other things.
This | ||||||
26 | Section is a limitation under subsection (i) of Section 6 of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Article VII
of the Illinois Constitution on the concurrent | ||||||
2 | exercise by home rule units of
the powers and functions | ||||||
3 | exercised by the State.
| ||||||
4 | (c) A pawnbroker may maintain the records required by | ||||||
5 | subsection (a) in
computer form if the computer form has been | ||||||
6 | approved by the Commissioner, the
sheriff of the county in | ||||||
7 | which the shop is located, and the police department
of the | ||||||
8 | municipality in which the shop is located.
| ||||||
9 | (d) Records, including reports to the Secretary, | ||||||
10 | maintained by
pawnbrokers shall be confidential, and no | ||||||
11 | disclosure of pawnbroker records
shall be made except | ||||||
12 | disclosures authorized by this Act or ordered by a court
of | ||||||
13 | competent jurisdiction. No record transferred to a | ||||||
14 | governmental official
shall be improperly disclosed, provided | ||||||
15 | that use of those records as evidence
of a felony or | ||||||
16 | misdemeanor shall be a proper purpose.
| ||||||
17 | (e) Pawnbrokers and their associations may lawfully give | ||||||
18 | appropriate
governmental agencies computer equipment for the | ||||||
19 | purpose of transferring
information pursuant to this Act.
| ||||||

| ||||||
21 | (205 ILCS 510/9.5 new) | ||||||
22 | Sec. 9.5. Altered property; serial number and | ||||||
23 | manufacturer's identification number. No pawnbroker shall | ||||||
24 | receive or purchase any article if the required serial number | ||||||
25 | or manufacturer's identification number on the article has been |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | altered or removed in any way.
| ||||||
2 | (205 ILCS 510/10) (from Ch. 17, par. 4660)
| ||||||
3 | Sec. 10. Sale of property. No personal property received on | ||||||
4 | deposit or
pledge or purchased
by any pawnbroker shall be sold | ||||||
5 | or permitted to be redeemed or
removed from the place of | ||||||
6 | business or transferred to another pawnshop location of such | ||||||
7 | pawnbroker for a period the space of
7 days 48 hours after the | ||||||
8 | delivery of the copy and statement
required by
Section 7 of | ||||||
9 | this Act required to be delivered to the officer or officers
| ||||||
10 | named therein. If the pawner or pledger fails to repay the loan | ||||||
11 | during the
period specified on the pawn ticket, the pawnbroker | ||||||
12 | shall automatically extend
a grace period of 30 days from the | ||||||
13 | default date on the loan during which
the pawnbroker shall not | ||||||
14 | dispose of or sell the personal property pledged. The
parties | ||||||
15 | may agree to extend or renew a loan upon terms agreed upon by | ||||||
16 | the
parties, provided the terms comply with the requirements of | ||||||
17 | this Act.
