The city of Nampa, Idaho, now requires people who sell precious metals to go through new “licensing” by getting a background check and be fingerprinted by police.  They must also pay a fee for the cost of the new “licensing” procedure.

Nampa officials say the new process will help police with finding stolen property.  Police will start checking dealers for compliance on July 1.

A Boise newspaper gave this police phone number for more info: 208-468-5615
