This proposal could have an impact on small businesses involved in rentals or leases of tangible personal property, and on small businesses involved in the business of a pawn broker.



DESCRIPTION



This proposal would modify the provisions for return to the claimant, of leased property held by a pawnbroker. Property subject to a lease, rental transaction, or retail installment which is not marked may be recovered by the claimant upon producing evidence identifying the leased or rented property of the claimant. The pawnbroker shall be free from liability upon return of such property to the claimant.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
