    This fiscal note is based upon the regulation of 224 pawnshops and “cash for gold” type physical stores we have identified as a result of polling of our Troops/Detachments to estimate the level of work involved. Should the bill expand in scope beyond these type of permanent fixed locations or regulate more businesses than the estimate compiled by the WVSP, additional resources will be required.
