Scrap metal license required

The legislature recently passed House Bill 1552: Reducing scrap metal theft, which:

  • Sets new requirements for scrap metal transactions and recordkeeping.

In response to this new law, we'll work with stakeholders to create new rules and requirements for licensing scrap metal businesses. To learn more about proposed rules and how you can participate in the rulemaking process, see Laws and rules.
