SB3593

SB3593 amends the Recyclable Metal Purchase Registration Law to address theft of telecommunications wires and equipment.

SB3593 amends the Recyclable Metal Purchase Registration Law to make it a violation for individuals to possess, purchase, sell, or attempt to purchase telecommunications wire. The bill defines "telecommunications wire" and "burned wire," and it prohibits the purchase of these materials unless certain conditions are met. The law also creates the Recyclable Metal Theft Task Force, which will develop long-term solutions to combat the theft of recyclable metals, including telecommunications wires.
