Latest version.
  • A.

    In addition to the book provided for in section 6-60-10, every pawnbroker, at the time of receiving any article in the conduct of his or her business, shall place a description of the article or things pledged upon the front side of a blank form card, three inches by five inches in size, which card shall be provided by the pawnbroker. The description to be given of such article shall be such description as may be called for by the blank form on such card. The pawnbroker shall fill in such other blank spaces as may appear on the front side of such blank form card with the data as is requested by the blank spaces. A separate card shall be provided and used for each article pledged, received or taken.

    B.

    On the back of each blank form card there shall be written by the pledgor, in his or her own handwriting, his or her name and address and such pledgor shall also reproduce thereon his or her right thumbprint at the place indicated therefor on the back of such card. In the event the right thumb is amputated, then such other fingerprint as required by the pawnbroker shall be taken and such fingerprint fully described and designated upon the card. This thumbprint shall be reproduced and taken in the usually approved manner and shall not be blurred or obliterated. The pawnbroker shall then fill in a description of the party so pledging or leaving any such article as the remaining spaces on the back side of such blank form card may call for.
