A. Every dealer must keep at the business location designated in the license application, all used articles made, in whole or in part, of precious metals or gems, for inspection by any law enforcement officer and the Department of Consumer Credit at reasonable times for a period of ten (10) days or until the articles have been released by written authorization of any law enforcement officer authorized by the law enforcement agency or its designee, except as provided for in subsection C of Section 1525 of this title. During this period, the appearance of such articles shall not be altered in any way. A dealer is not prohibited from selling or arranging to sell such articles during the ten-day period as long as such articles remain in his or her possession as required by this section.
B. Whenever a peace officer has probable cause to believe that property in possession of a licensed dealer is stolen or embezzled, the peace officer of the local law enforcement agency of the municipality or other political subdivision in which the dealer is located may place a written hold order on the property. The initial term of the written hold order shall not exceed thirty (30) days. However, the holding period may be extended in successive thirty-day increments upon written notification prior to the expiration of the initial holding period. If the holding period has expired and has not been extended, the hold order shall be considered expired and no longer in effect, and title shall vest in the dealer subject to any restrictions contained in a sale contract. The initial written hold order shall contain the following information:
1. Signature of the dealer or designee;
2. Name, title and identification number of the peace officer placing the hold order;
3. Name and address of the agency to which the peace officer is attached and the offense number;
4. Complete description of the property to be held, including model number, serial number and transaction number;
5. Name of agency reporting the property stolen or embezzled;
6. Mailing address of the dealer where the property is held; and
7. Expiration date of the holding period.
C. While a hold order is in effect, the dealer may consent to release, upon written receipt, the stolen or embezzled property to the custody of the local law enforcement agency to which the peace officer placing the hold order is attached. The consent to release the stolen or embezzled property to the custody of law enforcement is not a waiver or release of the dealer's property rights or interest in the property. Otherwise, the dealer shall not release or dispose of the property except pursuant to a court order or the expiration of the holding period including all extensions. The district attorney's office shall notify the dealer in writing in cases where criminal charges have been filed that the property may be needed as evidence. The notice shall contain the case number, the style of the case and a description of the property. The dealer shall hold such property until receiving notice of the disposition of the case from the district attorney's office. The district attorney's office shall notify the dealer in writing within fifteen (15) days of the disposition of the case. Willful noncompliance of a dealer to a written hold order shall be cause for the dealer's license to either be suspended or revoked. A hold order may be released prior to the expiration of any thirty-day holding period by written release from the agency placing the initial hold order.
D. Upon approval of the Administrator, a dealer may also designate an additional location for storage of items required to be held under the provisions of the Precious Metal and Gem Dealer Industry Act. This location shall be either a vault or a bank. The address of the designated additional location shall be filed with the Administrator. The Administrator shall require documentation to verify that the additional storage location will be utilized by the dealer, including, but not limited to, a lease or rental agreement between the dealer and the owner of the additional storage location. The Administrator shall also require the name, contact person and telephone number of the additional storage location. The Administrator shall release the designated location only to law enforcement agencies. The designated additional location shall be available for inspection by the Department of Consumer Credit or any law enforcement officer of this state authorized by the law enforcement agency to inspect the same. A dealer shall provide written notice to the Administrator at least thirty (30) days prior to terminating a lease or rental agreement for an additional storage location.
