§ 70-37. Receipt of goods by junk dealers and collectors.
Latest version.
It is unlawful for any junk dealer or junk collector to receive or purchase any property,
article or thing from any person who shall appear to be, or who is known to be, intoxicated
or from any minor, unless the minor presents the written consent of his or her parent
or guardian, duly signed, authorizing the particular transaction, which written consent
must be kept and exhibited, upon demand, by any officer requesting the consent in
the performance of his or her official duties. In any criminal prosecution or proceeding
for the suspension or revocation of any license for a violation of this section, proof
that the defendant licensee, or his or her agent or employee, demanded and was shown,
before receiving or purchasing any property, article or thing, a motor vehicle operator's
license or a registration certificate issued under the federal Selective Service Act
or other bona fide documentary evidence of majority and identity of the person is
a defense to the prosecution or proceeding for the suspension or revocation of any
license.
