Relating to the purchase or acquisition by metal recycling entities of catalytic converters removed from a motor vehicle; imposing an administrative penalty.

HB 1120 requires metal recycling businesses to verify the vehicle information when purchasing catalytic converters removed from cars. Specifically, businesses must check the vehicle's identification number (VIN) against the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's database to confirm the vehicle's year, make, and model match what the seller provided. Sellers must give this vehicle information to the recycling business before the sale. Failure to follow these verification steps can result in administrative penalties, and the bill directly affects metal recycling companies and sellers of catalytic converters.
