The proposed bill would establish a Study Committee on Scrap Metal Theft, consisting of various members including certified peace officers, registered scrap metal dealers, impacted public members, and a representative from the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. This committee is tasked with examining the effectiveness of current statutes regulating scrap metal dealers, evaluating compliance costs for the industry, and reviewing existing penalties to ensure they adequately regulate the sector. The committee is required to submit a report of its findings and recommendations by December 1, 2025.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision for the repeal of the Study Committee on January 1, 2026, after its report has been submitted. The bill's provisions would be inserted into the current statutes without altering existing laws, thereby enhancing the regulatory framework surrounding scrap metal theft while ensuring that the committee's activities are time-bound and focused on specific objectives.
