The following constitutes an explanation of why any provisions of fhese amendments that duplicate or increase the stringency of federal, sfafe or local standards regulating the same activity are necessary: The proposed amendments duplicate existing State Law requirements for record keeping by junk dealers, restrictions on the purchase of junk from certain persons, and record keeping by secondhand stores and pawnbrokers.
