Summary
The bill makes every scrap metal business in Washington create a standardized record for each non‑ferrous metal transaction, including buyer identification, vehicle details, and a signed declaration that the metal is not stolen. It also limits cash payments, requires photo or video evidence of the material, and sets rules for record retention and surveillance. The aim is to make it harder for stolen metal to enter the market and protect critical infrastructure.
