CA AB1969

Exempts sellers or pledgers who verify identity using a Matricula Consular from having their name and current address reported to the California Pawn and SecondhandDealer System (CAPSS), effective January 1, 2023.

Requires secondhand dealers and coin dealers to record and maintain the name, current address, Matricula Consular number, ownership certification, and fingerprint of sellers/pledgers using Matricula Consular identification for three years from the date of CAPSS reporting.

Mandates secondhand dealers and coin dealers to provide law enforcement with collected identification information upon notification that an item has been reported as lost, stolen, or embezzled.

No personal identifying information of Matricula Consular users will be entered into CAPSS; instead, CAPSS fields will be populated with "on file" and information maintained locally.
