Texas SB725 regulates used automotive parts recycling, requiring recyclers to remove and securely store license plates until destroyed.

Texas SB725 amends the Occupations Code to regulate the recycling of used automotive parts. It mandates that recyclers remove any unexpired license plates and registration insignia from vehicles upon receipt and store them securely until destroyed. This requirement does not apply to those who casually sell used automotive parts or recycle them incidentally as part of their business. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality will adopt rules to implement these provisions, which take effect September 1, 2025.
