SB 1354 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

auxiliary containers; regulation; prohibition; repeal.

This bill repeals two Arizona statutes (ARS 9-500.38 and 11-269.16) and amends ARS 44-1648 to clarify that while the state preempts statewide registration of scrap metal dealers, local governments (cities, towns, counties) may still enforce business licensing requirements for these dealers - provided their systems include background checks or fingerprinting. It also ensures that scrap metal dealers with valid licenses from local authorities before September 13, 2013, remain compliant without needing to reapply, unless new circumstances require updates. The bill directly affects scrap metal dealers and local licensing authorities in Arizona.
