This bill establishes specific requirements for secondhand dealers of cellular telephones and wireless communication devices in New Jersey. It mandates that dealers document detailed information about each transaction, including the Mobile Equipment Identifier, International Mobile Station Equipment Identity, or Electronic Serial Number of the device. Additionally, dealers must obtain a receipt that confirms the seller's lawful age and ownership of the device, along with their government-issued identification. If the seller lacks photographic identification, the dealer is required to take a color photograph of the seller and record their personal details on the back of the photo.

The bill also prohibits secondhand dealers from selling devices acquired through false information and from altering or removing any identifying marks on the devices. Violators of these provisions face escalating civil penalties, starting at $250 for a first offense and reaching $1,000 for subsequent offenses. Importantly, the bill clarifies that violations will not be classified as unlawful practices under existing consumer protection laws. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance accountability and reduce the potential for fraud in the secondhand market for cellular devices.
