    Last year, an Albany County Legislator attempted to introduce Local Law "e" for 2011. The "consumer Protection Act" would have imposed a 21 day holding period on purchased goods. In the past couple of months several local municipalities have attempted to introduce similar legislation. So far this year three bills have been introduced at a state level which would place additional burdensome requirements on secondhand dealers and precious metals refiners.

    WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT NOW!!

    Last year Gary Domalewicz, an Albany County Legislator, attempted to introduce Local Law E for 2011. The Consumer Protection Act that he attempted to introduce would have imposed a 21 day holding period on purchased goods, burdensome reporting on both SALES and purchases, restrictions on our hours of operations and countless other provisions whose negative impacts would have had a profoundly negative impact to customers and dealers alike. In the past couple of months several other local municipalities have attempted to introduce similar legislation. The Town of Rotterdam and the City of Troy, New York being the latest. So far this year three bills have been introduced at a state level which would place additional burdensome requirements on secondhand dealers and precious metals refiners. Amongst these proposed requirements are regulations that would require us to fingerprint and photograph every seller.

    THE ALBANY COUNTY DEALERS ASSOCIATION WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY DEFEAT PROPOSED LOCAL LAW E FOR 2011 We were able to do so, in no small part, due to the efforts of one Albany County Legislator.
    Chris Higgins met with representatives from the dealers association, took the time to understand our industry, visited some of our businesses and worked with his associates in the legislature to ensure that our needs were represented. In the end, it was his active and substantial opposition to this law that played a pivotal role in defeating it.

    Chris Higgins has now announced that he is running for a seat on the New York State Legislature
    As state legislators attempt to introduce more legislation governing our business, we need people like Chris Higgins who will actively represent our interests on a state level. WE NEED TO HELP HIM GET ELECTED. You can do this by making a donation to his campaign. The Albany County Dealers Association will be collecting the donations and presenting them to Mr. Higgins. Take a moment and write a check to...

    Chris Higgins for Assembly And mail it to... Albany County Dealers Association, 891 New Loudon Rd., Latham, NY 12110 We can all work together to elect the right politicians or we can sit back and react when the wrong people try to enact laws which would have serious and adverse effects on our businesses. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO PROACTIVELY PROTECT YOUR INTERESTS!!!
