SB 725 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the regulation of used automotive parts recycling, including the removal of license plates and registration insignia.

SB 725 requires used automotive parts recyclers to immediately remove all license plates and registration insignia from vehicles they receive, and securely store them until destruction. This applies to businesses engaged in recycling auto parts as a primary activity, excluding casual sales as an incidental part of another business. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, and aims to prevent the reuse of license plates on other vehicles by mandating proper handling and disposal.
