This bill establishes specific requirements for secondhand dealers who engage in the buying and selling of cellular telephones and electronic communication devices. It mandates that dealers document detailed information about each transaction, including the device's identifiers and a receipt that confirms the seller's lawful ownership and age. Additionally, it prohibits sellers from providing false information and restricts dealers from selling devices acquired through fraudulent means. To ensure compliance, dealers must require two forms of identification from sellers, one of which must be a government-issued photo ID. If a seller lacks such identification, the dealer is required to take a color photograph of the seller and record personal details on the back.

Furthermore, the bill prohibits secondhand dealers from altering or removing any identifying marks on the devices and establishes civil penalties for violations, ranging from $250 for a first offense to $1,000 for subsequent offenses. Each transaction that violates the bill's provisions is treated as a separate offense. Notably, 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.
