What changed between versions
Eliminated the mandate for the Department of Law Enforcement to establish a centralized statewide system and contract with a single private vendor to collect data.

Introduced provisions allowing law enforcement to provide computers and equipment to dealers who lack the technical capability to transmit data electronically.
Expanded the bill's applicability to include secondary metals recyclers and all secondhand dealers, not just pawn shops.
Replaced the specific definition of a 'Statewide system' with a focus on 'statewide data sharing' between various types of dealers and law enforcement.
