Illinois § 15

§ 15.

Recordkeeping requirements. (a) Every resale dealer shall keep a standard record book that has been approved by the appropriate law enforcement official. At the time of each sale, an accurate account and description, in the English language, of all the goods, articles, and other things purchased, the amount of money, value, or thing loaned thereon, the time of sale, and the name and address of the person selling such items shall be printed, typed, or written in ink in the record book. Such entry shall include the serial number or identification number of the items received. Except for items purchased from dealers possessing a federal employee identification number who have provided a receipt to the resale dealer, every resale dealer shall also record in his or her book an accurate account and description, in the English language, of all goods, articles and other things purchased or received by the resale dealer from any source, the time of such purchase or receipt, and the name and address of the person or business that sold or delivered such goods, articles, or other things to the resale dealer. No completed entry in such book shall be erased, mutilated, or changed. (b) Every resale dealer shall require and keep a record of identification to be shown by each person selling any goods, articles, or other things to the resale dealer. If the identification shown is a driver's license or a State identification card issued by the Secretary of State and contains a photograph of the person being identified, only one form of identification must be shown. If the identification shown is not a driver's license or a State identification card issued by the Secretary of State and does not contain a photograph, 2 forms of identification must be shown, and one of the 2 forms of identification must include his or her address. These forms of identification shall include, but not be limited to, any of the following: a driver's license, utility bill, employee or student identification card, credit card, or a civic, union, or professional association membership card. In addition, in a municipality with a population of 1,000,000 or more inhabitants, if the seller does not have a form of identification issued by a governmental entity containing a photograph of the person being identified, the resale dealer shall photograph the seller in color and record the seller's name, address, date of birth, gender, height, and weight on the reverse side of the photograph. All resale dealers regulated by this Act shall maintain transaction records for 3 years. (c) A resale dealer may maintain the records required by subsection (a) in computer form if the computer form has been approved by the appropriate law enforcement official. (d) Every resale dealer shall maintain an inventory system of all property purchased or received in such a manner that members of the appropriate law enforcement agency making an inspection of such property can readily locate such property on the licensed premises.
