Title
An Act concerning Secondhand and Pawn Dealers for the purpose of clarifying the definition of tangible personal property; requiring the display of licenses and ordinances; and making related clarifying amendments
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.
