Bill Summary
All three counties in Delaware have been plagued with thefts of catalytic converters, which contain precious metals having significant monetary value in the scrap metal industry. This Act adds catalytic converters to the list of items for which scrap metal processors shall create a record and provide information when acquired. Amending Section 24(b)(1) to specifically include catalytic converters as items that the industries regulated by Chapter 23 must report will enhance enforcement of this Chapter and assist law enforcement by providing a mechanism to follow-up on thefts of converters and to obtain solvability factors in the ever-growing trend associated with thefts of converters.
AI Summary
This bill amends Title 24 of the Delaware Code to add catalytic converters to the list of items that scrap metal processors must record and report information about when acquired. The purpose is to enhance enforcement and assist law enforcement in investigating the growing trend of catalytic converter thefts, which are often driven by the high monetary value of the precious metals they contain. The bill also makes technical corrections to conform the existing law to the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
