HB1082 requires scrap metal dealers to keep detailed records of all purchases—including seller information, descriptions of materials bought, and payment details—and to report high-value transactions to local law enforcement to help prevent theft. The bill also establishes new identification requirements for sellers and waiting periods before dealers can resell certain metals, making it harder for stolen materials to be quickly converted to cash.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
