This bill proposes to repeal sections 9-500.38 and 11-269.16 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which currently provide specific regulations regarding local governance and business licensing for scrap metal dealers. Additionally, it seeks to repeal Laws 2016, chapter 28, section 5, which may have previously impacted local regulations.

The bill amends section 44-1648 to clarify that while local governments retain the authority to enforce business licensing laws, the provisions of this article do not apply to licensing systems for scrap metal dealers that include background checks or identification and fingerprinting of the owners. This change aims to streamline local regulations while ensuring that certain security measures remain in place for scrap metal dealer licensing.
