About this statute

This Act regulates pawn broking, including licensing, handling of pledged goods, redemption, advertising, recordkeeping, and offences. Pawnshop licensees must check suspicious pawn or redemption transactions and immediately report suspicious ones to the nearest police station. The Minister may exempt a pawnbroker from provisions of the Act by Gazette notice, and may later revoke the exemption if conditions are breached or it is no longer appropriate.
