Issue Position: Scrap Metal

Issue Position

"I have partnered with local law enforcement and prosecutors on a bill that will block the market for stolen scrap metal. The problem of scrap metal theft has impacted all of us and increased crime in our communities. This bill makes reforms that help police and prosecutors trace the sale of property to identify it as stolen and punish any individual who knows, or has reason to know, that the property he or she is buying or selling has been stolen with a felony charge and fines. I am determined to stop the destruction of our neighborhoods, and my legislation on scrap metal will significantly reduce the market for stolen scrap metal."
