(A) Annual application. Each application for a pawnbroker's, precious material dealer's, secondhand retailer's, or automated kiosk permit shall be submitted in writing to the Mayor and be accompanied by the permit fee and the name, address, date of birth and social security number of the applicant and each agent, manager, and controlling person, together with the physical address of the associated store premise. Automated kiosks must identify the physical location of all offsite storage facilities, if any, used to store items retrieved from the automated kiosk during the 15 day hold period required by this article. Changes in such information must be indicated on each annual renewal application. Every pawnbroker shall furnish with each application for an initial or renewal permit proof of execution and delivery of the bond to the City Clerk's Office as required in § 13-6-6.
(B) To be eligible for a pawnbroker's, precious material dealer's, secondhand retailer's, or automated kiosk permit, at the time of each application or renewal, an applicant must conduct business within the requirements and spirit of this article and all other applicable laws, and never have had a pawnbroker's, precious material dealers, secondhand retailer's, or automated kiosk permit revoked by the city or any other jurisdiction.
(C) The city shall perform a criminal background check on each applicant and controlling person for a pawnbroker's, precious material dealer's, second hand retailer's, or automated kiosk permit. In deciding whether to issue a permit the city may deny a permit to an applicant based on criminal history only as regulated and authorized by New Mexico Criminal Offender Employment Act., NMSA 1978 § 28-2-1 et seq. However, no person who has been convicted of a felony shall be eligible for a pawnbroker's permit pursuant to NMSA 1978 § 56-12-4.
