Arizona SB1354 repeals regulations on auxiliary containers and solid waste, preempting local authority on scrap metal dealer registration.

Arizona SB1354 repeals sections 9-500.38 and 11-269.16 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which pertain to auxiliary containers and solid waste. The bill also amends section 44-1648 to clarify that the registration of scrap metal dealers is a matter of statewide concern, preempting local authority. Local governments retain the power to enforce business licensing laws but cannot require additional licensing for scrap metal dealers who already have a current and valid license from before September 13, 2013, unless specific circumstances require it.
