Copper materials; prohibit transactions between certain sellers and scrap metal dealers and other purchases.

Summary

HB 728 would forbid the sale of copper materials to scrap metal dealers unless the seller is a licensed plumber, electrician, contractor, or possesses a certificate of responsibility or demolition permit. It also requires dealers to keep a scanned copy of the seller’s license or permit for each copper transaction. The measure is intended to help stop illegal copper theft by tightening verification of sellers.
