§ 855. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that, as a result\nof the high value of Torah scrolls, there has developed a market for\nstolen scrolls. Because scrolls are virtually identical and difficult to\nidentify, it is necessary to provide a system by which buyers can\nsatisfy themselves that the scroll they are purchasing was not stolen\nthereby protecting the integrity of the marketplace, and to thwart\ntrafficking in stolen goods of this unique nature. Accordingly, the\nprovisions of this article are enacted.\n
