Bill > HF4461

This bill amends Minnesota's existing law on scrap metal dealers by requiring a license to sell copper metal. Specifically, the bill introduces a new subdivision that prohibits the sale of scrap copper metal without a valid license issued by the state commissioner, starting January 1, 2025. The license application process includes providing personal information, acknowledging the copper was obtained lawfully, and paying a non-refundable fee of $250. The commissioner has the authority to deny, suspend, revoke, or place a license on probation under certain conditions, such as fraudulent activity or failure to comply with the requirements. The bill also requires scrap metal dealers to record additional information, including a copy of the seller's license, when purchasing copper metal.
