Be careful Directmale and Lou Lou, it is a Republican Law with bipartisan assistance.Questioned about the breadth of the Louisiana law, its sponsor, State Rep. Clifton Richardson(Republican - Baton Rouge), says, ?I?m constantly open to improving it, but I don?t want to weaken it.?Sponsors: six Dems 9 Republicans. 89 voted Yes, Voted Nohttp://www.mygov365.com/legislation/view/id/4db66f7549e51bd334be0300/tab/sponsors/Federal courts have upheld statutes in New York, Mississippi and Tennessee but they were a lot more focused on scrap metal. In every single case the laws had been challenged on the grounds that states and cities can?t ban transactions in legal tender.All the challenges have been thrown out and laws supported.?States are saying, ?We have the appropriate to specify the kind in which the payments are created, then you can tender the check for any legal tender you want,?? explains Mark Beebe of the New Orleans law firm Adams and Reese. ?They?re not saying this is the only medium you can use and that?s exactly where it ends.??For every single transaction ?a secondhand dealer have to obtain the seller?s private information such as their name, address, driver?s license number and the license plate number of the car in which the goods had been delivered.?They should also make a detailed description of the products bought and submit this with the personal identification info of each and every transaction to the local policing authorities via electronic daily reports.?Most scrap dealers do this currently so this bill is significantly broader. Most men and women selling their odds and ends on Craigslist do not do this. So not only are cash transactions banned to generate a paper trail but the transaction must be reported to law enforcement at the time of sale.   Max20characters 26 months ago http://www.mygov365.com/legislation/view/id/4db66f7549e51bd334be0300/tab/sponsors/

I feel it is just 1 more in a long line of shabby digusting behavior of huge business in this nation.Wealthier folks do not buy second hand. Individuals whos budgets only stretch to purchasing second hand do not have credit cards.So, I guess they can just go with no. Why not? They're utilised to going without having.You asked for opinions. That is mine. And, please. Bring your your normal insulting of my opinion th t you ASKED for. I'm loaded for bear right now. I have tons of stuff saved.   TurboB 26 months ago

As usual, it is an ill-thought-out law; I hope it is vetoed or overturned on a challenge soon. I understand the intent, but I also understand it is basically unenforcable in the general arena.   Schelli 26 months ago
