Mississippi HB728 aims to regulate the sale of copper materials to scrap metal dealers by requiring sellers to be licensed professionals or permit.

Mississippi HB728 amends existing law to restrict the sale of copper materials to scrap metal dealers. The bill mandates that only licensed plumbers, electricians, contractors, or those holding a demolition permit can sell copper materials to scrap metal dealers. It also requires scrap metal dealers to maintain records of each transaction, including scanned copies of the seller's license or permit. The bill further prohibits cash transactions and outlines penalties for violations, including fines and imprisonment.
