(b) When receiving the personal property, the licensee shall simultaneously enter the following information into the record required by this section: (1) An accurate description of all articles pawned or purchased; (2) The amount of money loaned on each article pawned or the purchase price of each article purchased; (3) The exact time of the transaction; (4) The name, address, telephone number, age, color, height, weight, complexion, style of beard or mustache, any visible distinguishing marks or conditions, style of dress, and number of any license badge of the person pawning or selling the articles; (5) A copy of an identification card issued to the seller by the United States government or by the government of a state or territory of the United States or the District of Columbia; (6) A photograph of the seller; (7) The number of the pawn ticket issued; and (8) Any other information as required by the license administrator by regulation. (c) In addition to the above records, every licensee under this article shall provide a list of serialized articles that have been acquired by transfers from any location other than the consolidated city and county to the local law enforcement agency having jurisdiction over the locations of the licensee's place of business no later than the next business day after the articles are received. (d) In addition to the record required in subsection (a) of this section, the licensee shall, at the time of purchasing or accepting as a pledge any personal property, require the signature and right thumbprint of the person selling or pledging the property. If the person is unable to write, the person shall sign by mark. In such event, the pawnbroker shall record on the signature card such information as will enable the pawnbroker to identify the person in case of the loss of the ticket. If the person does not have a right thumb, any other existing finger may be used. However, a clear print must be obtained. The signature and thumbprint must be retained by the pawnbroker in written or electronic form, as directed and approved by the license administrator, for a period of three (3) years.
