HB 728 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Copper materials; prohibit transactions between certain sellers and scrap metal dealers and other purchases.

HB 728 would require that only licensed plumbers, electricians, contractors, or individuals with a certificate of responsibility or demolition permit can sell copper materials to scrap metal dealers. Scrap metal dealers must keep a scanned copy of the seller's license or permit for each transaction involving copper materials. The bill also references an existing section governing air conditioner coils for possible amendment, though its primary focus is on copper. This policy directly affects sellers of copper (e.g., from homes or businesses) and scrap metal dealers, aiming to restrict unauthorized sales of copper.
