§ 10-159. Report to police; required format.

(a)

Every pawnbroker, pawnshop and dealer in precious metals and gems located within the city shall make a computer-generated daily report, in such format as prescribed by the chief of police, of all transactions that occurred during the twenty-four-hour period ending at 9:00 p.m. on the date of the report. A report shall be made each day prior to 11:59 p.m. for each day the operator or dealer transacts business. If an operator or dealer is closed, or does not otherwise engage in any transactions on a particular day, a report indicating "no transactions" shall be filed for that day. Daily reports shall be filed electronically by posting to a law enforcement web site designated by the chief of police. When technological problems prevent posting the daily report electronically, a printed, typed or legibly handwritten report shall be delivered to the police department in lieu thereof.

(b)

This section shall not apply to the receipt of used books or pawn transactions commonly known as "title pawn" transactions where the pawnbroker takes possession of a motor vehicle certificate of title; takes a security interest in the motor vehicle certificate of title, and retains physical possession of the vehicle certificate of title for the entire length of the pawn transaction.

(c)

This section shall not apply to nonprofit corporations, business or other entities who receive all personal property from donations.

(d)

This article shall not apply to any precious metals or gems containing precious metals or gems obtained from industrial producers, manufacturers, licensed dealers, or distributors.

(e)

This article shall not apply to dealers exclusively engaged in the sale or exchange of numismatic coins or to transactions exclusively involving numismatic coins or other coinage.
