______
Rep. Kaza, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:
"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
The legislation before us would amend Public Act 272 of 1917, which regulates pawnbrokers.
Legitimate pawnbrokers provide a service to their customers, often being the only source for loans to people who, for various reasons, do not have access to more traditional bank loans. Pawnbrokers report that more than 90 percent of pawned items are redeemed by pawnees. Pawnbrokers must currently record certain information for each article received in a book that can be inspected by the police. This bill would require 'the driver license number, offered state personal identification card number, or government identification number of the person that an article was received from . . . ,' according to the bill analysis.
If pawnbrokers must send in different reports to comply with two different acts' reporting requirements (1917 and 1998) the result would be a paper overload - for police and pawnbrokers. I question whether this change in the law is good public policy."
