Business and Professions Code sections 21660 et seq. impose reporting requirements on swap meet operators and vendors, designed to assist law enforcement agencies in tracing and recovering stolen property. State law, however, recognizes that land use and zoning issues created by swap meets are matters of local concern. This chapter provides for licensing of swap meets and adopts reasonable regulations necessary to limit impacts on surrounding properties and residents and to protect the health and safety of swap meet attendees.
