Summary
The bill amends Illinois' Recyclable Metal Purchase Registration Law to make it illegal for anyone to buy, sell, or even possess telecommunications wire unless the seller is an authorized utility or service provider. It also expands the existing metal‑theft task force, adding a wireless carrier representative and requiring an annual report on wire‑theft trends and solutions. The changes aim to reduce the growing problem of stolen telecom equipment.
