Catalytic Converter Theft Task Force Act

S 2061 establishes a federal task force to address the theft of catalytic converters and other high-value auto parts containing precious metals. The 11-member task force, including DOJ, transportation officials, and state/local law enforcement representatives, will assess current laws and recommend prevention strategies to deter theft and trafficking. It must submit an initial report within 90 days and final recommendations within 18 months to Congress, the Attorney General, and state attorneys general. This directly affects law enforcement agencies and vehicle owners facing rising theft risks.
