DIVISION 8. PAWNBROKERS [21000 - 21413] Â Â ( Division 8 enacted by Stats. 1951, Ch. 364. ) Â Â

CHAPTER 4. Pawnbroker Education Act [21400 - 21413] Â Â ( Chapter 4 added by Stats. 2024, Ch. 223, Sec. 3. )

  21401.  The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) Pawnbroker businesses provide a valuable source of short-term credit for economically vulnerable consumers and the state’s unbanked population, as everyone who seeks a pawn loan can borrow money regardless of creditworthiness. (b) Individuals who use pawnbroker loans in this state use those loans for, among other things, paying for the necessities of life. (c) The Legislature recognizes that education for licensed pawnbrokers, as defined in this chapter, will ensure the highest standards of conduct and compliance with state and federal laws applicable to pawnbroker businesses. (d) In order to continuously improve the competence of licensed pawnbrokers, the Legislature encourages all licensees to regularly engage in continuing education related to the profession, as defined in this chapter. (Added by Stats. 2024, Ch. 223, Sec. 3. (AB 2231) Effective January 1, 2025. Repealed as of January 1, 2029, pursuant to Section 21413.)
