Summary

Antique, vintage, and collectible items; penalty.  Requires any person, firm, partnership, association, or corporation engaged in the business of buying or selling antique, vintage, or collectible items to designate such items as being antique, vintage, or collectible when selling or displaying such items for sale. The bill defines “antique” as any item manufactured or produced more than 100 years ago, “vintage” as any item manufactured or produced between 50 and 99 years ago, and “collectible” as any item manufactured or produced less than 50 years ago. The bill provides that a violation of the requirement to properly designate items being sold is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine not to exceed $500.
