Copper materials; prohibit transactions between certain sellers and scrap metal dealers and other purchases.
This bill restricts the sale of copper materials to scrap metal dealers in Mississippi, allowing such transactions only when the seller is a licensed plumber, electrician, contractor, or holds a specific demolition permit. It requires scrap metal dealers to keep scanned copies of sellers' licenses or permits and maintain detailed records of each transaction, including the seller's name, address, and age. The legislation also brings existing rules about air conditioner evaporator coils under the same regulatory framework for potential future amendments. These changes aim to increase oversight of the scrap metal industry by limiting who can sell certain valuable metals and ensuring better documentation of sales.
