New Jersey A436 mandates vehicle manufacturers to stamp vehicle identification numbers on catalytic converters to combat theft.

New Jersey A436 aims to address the rising theft of catalytic converters by requiring manufacturers to stamp or engrave the vehicle identification number onto each catalytic converter installed in motor vehicles sold within the state. This measure is expected to deter thefts by making it easier to trace stolen converters back to their original vehicles. The act takes effect three months after its enactment.
