An Act relative to the sale of old metals and vehicle catalytic converters

This bill amends Massachusetts law to regulate the sale of old metals and vehicle catalytic converters, directly affecting licensed scrap metal dealers and auto recyclers. It requires these businesses to verify the seller's identity and ownership through a bill of sale, keep detailed transaction records for three years, and use company checks for purchases over $250 or involving three or more converters. Additionally, the law prohibits dealers from buying converters from individuals who are not the vehicle's owner or a commercial enterprise, while allowing local police to enforce these rules with civil fines and license suspensions for violations.
