Governor Signed
Summary
The legislation adds metal theft, including catalytic converter theft, to the list of offenses the Attorney General and Department of Public Safety’s joint strike force can pursue. It also requires the strike force to submit an annual count of catalytic converter thefts and arrests to the State Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice and to the Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Interim Committee. The changes also update rules for the state public‑safety data portal but do not provide new funding.
