Description

Scrap metal processors. Establishes requirements regarding purchases of scrap metal by scrap metal processors. Scrap metal processors shall not purchase nonferrous scrap, metal articles, and proprietary articles directly from persons other than licensed plumbers, electricians, HVAC contractors, building and construction contractors, public utilities, transportation companies, licensed peddlers and brokers, industrial and manufacturing companies, demolition contractors, marine, automobile and aircraft salvage and wrecking companies, and government entities or their agents without recording the seller's identification information and the time and date of the transaction, the license number of the seller's vehicle, and a description of the items received from the seller, in a permanent ledger. In addition, proprietary articles shall not be purchased from a person unless the buyer either obtains documentary evidence that the seller lawfully possesses the proprietary articles or submits a report with local law-enforcement officials. Local scrap metal dealer ordinances are required to conform to these requirements. Violations are punishable by up to two years in prison and fines of not more than $1,000. Read the Bill »
