Bill > SB318

This bill repeals and replaces several sections of Missouri law related to scrap metals. The key provisions are: 1. Requires scrap metal dealers to obtain certain information and documentation from sellers, including copies of licenses, identification, and receipts. Dealers must maintain these records for 3 years. 2. Prohibits cash payments for certain materials like copper and HVAC components, requiring checks payable to the seller. Dealers cannot convert these checks to cash. 3. Creates new criminal offenses for knowingly selling stolen scrap metals or intentionally damaging property to obtain scrap metals, punishable by fines and/or jail time. 4. Restricts the purchase of certain metals, like those belonging to utilities or cemeteries, unless the seller has written authorization. 5. Requires scrap metal dealers to register with the ISRI Scrap Theft Alert system and limits their operating hours. The bill aims to increase regulation and oversight of the scrap metal industry in Missouri to combat theft and illegal sales.
