AN ACT ALLOWING CATALYTIC CONVERTERS TO BE RECEIVED FROM MUNICIPAL TRANSFER STATIONS.

HB 5715 allows municipal transfer stations to sell catalytic converters collected from the public to scrap metal processors, junk dealers, or junkyard owners. The bill amends state law to explicitly permit these businesses to receive catalytic converters directly from municipal transfer stations. This change enables transfer stations to generate revenue by selling these converters, which they previously could not do. The policy directly affects municipal waste facilities and scrap metal industry businesses. It creates a clear legal pathway for the transfer and sale of catalytic converters collected at public disposal sites.
