Broward County Commission Regular Meeting

MOTION TO DIRECT Office of the County Attorney to draft an Ordinance amending Chapter 20, Article V, of the Broward County Code of Ordinances to exclude the sale of secondhand media (such as music, movies, and games), musical instruments, electronics purchased by secondhand dealers for less than $250, video games, and video game consoles from the requirements of the County Ordinance. (Commissioner Sharief)

ACTION:  (T-10:28 AM)  Approved. 

VOTE: 8-0. 

Board direction is required for the Office of the County Attorney to draft an Ordinance amending the Broward County Code of Ordinances.

Directs the Office of the County Attorney to draft an Ordinance amending Chapter 20, Article V, of the Broward County Code of Ordinances.

The "Secondhand Dealers" Ordinance, Section 20-123, et. seq. of the Broward County Code of Ordinances ("Code"), requires all secondhand dealers to follow more stringent requirements than the state statute for holding secondhand goods and recording transactions. The additional holding and reporting requirements for secondhand dealers under the Code currently include several categories of low-risk secondhand sales.

The proposed amendment would provide the Office of the County Attorney with direction to draft an Ordinance consistent with the Board's objectives in regulating secondhand dealers.
