Democratic Rep. Jay Hoffman has introduced a bipartisan catalytic converter theft bill, HB 4589, with Assistant Republican Leader Brad Stephens listed as a co-sponsor. The bill is supported by the secretary of State and would require transactions involving a catalytic converter to include the vehicle identification number of and the part number or other identifying number from which the catalytic converter was removed.

In a transaction involving a catalytic converter, the recyclable metal dealer must also require a copy of the certificate of title or registration showing the seller’s ownership in the vehicle.

NAMIC will continue to monitor the bill and work with the sponsors.
