(a)
The swap meet operator shall obtain sufficient blank forms from the Department of Justice at a cost not to exceed the actual cost to the department, or shall cause to be printed and be available sufficient forms approved by the department, for the use of vendors attending the swap meet, and shall distribute them to vendors as needed. The vendor shall submit the completed form to the operator who shall note on the vendor’s copy that the vendor has submitted the form. The vendor shall submit the form to the swap meet operator prior to the close of the business day on which the item is to be placed on sale. The swap meet operator shall provide this form required by subdivision (a) of Section 21663 to the chief of police, if the swap meet occurs within the territorial limits of an incorporated city, or the sheriff, if the swap meet occurs outside a city, within 24 hours, or, before the end of the first working day following the swap meet. The original shall also be available to the State Board of Equalization to permit them to detect possible sales tax evasion. The reports shall not be utilized by a chief of police, a sheriff, the Department of Justice, or any other governmental agency for the purpose of providing a permanent record of property ownership, nor shall the information derived from these reports form the basis for any record other than reports which assist in tracing and recovering of stolen property or assist in detecting sales tax evasion.
(b)
Every vendor shall submit to the swap meet operator the form disclosing the information required by subdivision (a) of Section 21663 for each swap meet at which he or she is a vendor prior to the close of the business day at which the item is to be placed on sale. Items described in reports previously submitted pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 21663 may be omitted from the description on the forms submitted at subsequent swap meets if the vendor furnishes the swap meet operator of each subsequent swap meet with two copies of the report previously submitted, marked to indicate personal property currently being offered or displayed.
(c)
A vendor who regularly offers or displays for sale or exchange any new or used personal property or merchandise shall be required to submit to the swap meet operator the form disclosing the information required by subdivision (a) of Section 21663 only once every 60 days. The vendor shall, however, submit a new report at any swap meet at which he or she is a vendor and offers or displays for sale or exchange any personal property not included by generic classification in the previously submitted report. For purposes of this subdivision, a vendor shall be deemed to regularly offer or display for sale or exchange any items of merchandise if such vendor participates for four or more days in a month at a swap meet conducted at the same location. Any vendor claiming to be a regular seller of new or used merchandise under the provisions of this subdivision shall so indicate on the bimonthly report.
(d)
Every vendor shall submit to the swap meet operator the form disclosing the information required by subdivision (a) of Section 21663 for each swap meet at which he or she is a vendor prior to the business day on which the item is to be placed on sale. A vendor who regularly offers or displays merchandise for sale or exchange shall be required to submit to the swap meet operator the form disclosing the information required by subdivision (a) of Section 21663 only once every six months, provided the vendor has a written agreement with the swap meet operator for a periodic term of one month or longer. All other casual vendors shall submit the form disclosing the information required by subdivision (a) of Section 21663 on each instance of offering merchandise for sale or exchange at the swap meet.
