HB 304 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to catalytic converters

HB 304 regulates the sale and handling of catalytic converters and related vehicle parts. It requires businesses like scrap metal dealers, salvage yards, and auto repair shops to obtain specific licenses and maintain detailed records of all transactions involving catalytic converters, including buyer identification, vehicle details, and transaction data. The bill mandates that sellers of catalytic converters must verify the buyer’s legitimacy (e.g., proof of auto repair business) and prohibits altering converters for five business days after purchase. Violations, such as knowingly buying stolen converters, can result in fines up to $10,000 or license revocation, and requires "FOR EXPORT ONLY" stamps on titles for international sales.
