Relating to the composition of the advisory committee for metal recycling entities.

SB 1043 amends Texas law to increase the size of the advisory committee for metal recycling entities from 15 to 17 members. The bill specifies exactly who must be appointed to the committee, including representatives from law enforcement agencies in cities of different sizes, metal recyclers (with one needing catalytic converter transaction experience), industries affected by material theft, county sheriffs from various population zones, and the oil and gas industry. This committee will advise on matters related to metal recycling, particularly addressing theft concerns. The changes take effect September 1, 2025.
