Some Galt thrift stores irked by state requirements for selling TVs, jewelry

Galt and Lodi police are working with thrift store owners who must obtain a permit and perform background checks to sell certain items — requirements some owners say are burdensome.

Owners who operate secondhand stores must have a $195 license from the state Department of Justice and pay for a background check to sell gold, silver, jewelry and other specific items such as televisions. They must also track these items. It's similar to requirements imposed on pawn shop owners or coin dealers.
