Manufacturers excluded from licensing requirement to sell scrap metal copper.

HF 3442 removes a licensing requirement for manufacturers selling scrap metal copper in Minnesota. The bill specifically excludes "manufacturers" (defined as persons who create products or affix their brand to products) from needing a $250 license to sell scrap copper, which applies to other sellers. This change modifies Minnesota Statutes section 325E.21, meaning manufacturers selling scrap copper from their production process no longer need to apply for or renew a license. The bill does not alter other licensing rules for non-manufacturer scrap dealers or the $250 fee structure.
