Title An Act concerning Secondhand and Pawn Dealers for the purpose of further clarifying the definition of tangible personal property, the exceptions provision, and general regulations as it relates to the second hand dealer licensing Background Prince George’s County has been delegated police power by subsection (S) Article 25A §5 Annotated Code of Maryland, also referred to as the General Welfare Clause, which includes the power to regulate private businesses to the extent necessary to protect the public health, safety, morals and welfare. The proliferation of consumable goods being re-sold by Secondhand and Pawn Dealers places at risk the health and safety of the public. This legislation will amend the provisions of the County Code governing the licensing of Secondhand and Pawn Dealers. 9/28/2010: CB-40-2010 (DR-2) was amended prior to enactment as follows: On page 4 line 2; add "Such provision would not preclude the capital stock of publically traded companies, trading on a public stock exchange and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), from being bought and sold." CB-40-2010 (DR-3) was enacted.
