HB 1174 requires scrap metal businesses to keep detailed records of catalytic converter sales and establishes penalties for failing to do so, treating catalytic converters as "nonferrous metal property" subject to the same recordkeeping rules as other valuable metals like copper and aluminum. The bill clarifies that these recordkeeping requirements apply to individual sellers but not to businesses with established accounts at scrap metal facilities. This is intended to help law enforcement track catalytic converter thefts, which have become a common crime.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
