Establishes a statewide pawn data collection system for secondhand dealers and secondary metals recyclers in Florida.

The bill creates a centralized pawn data collection system under the Department of Law Enforcement to support criminal investigations and public safety. It mandates all secondhand dealers and secondary metals recyclers to submit data through this system, prohibiting local agencies from maintaining separate contracts. The system aims to eliminate fragmented data collection, ensure data ownership by the state, and protect sensitive information from unauthorized use. Vendors are prohibited from commercializing the data, and violators face civil and criminal penalties.
