The bill proposes amendments to Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically section 325E.21, to eliminate the requirement for a license to sell scrap metal copper. It amends subdivision 1b to include new requirements for scrap metal dealers, such as creating a detailed record of each transaction, which must now include the identity of the employee completing the transaction. Additionally, the bill repeals subdivision 2c, which previously mandated that individuals obtain a valid license from the commissioner to sell scrap metal copper, along with various application and renewal processes.

By removing the licensing requirement, the bill aims to simplify the process for individuals looking to sell scrap metal copper while still maintaining necessary record-keeping and compliance measures for scrap metal dealers. The changes are intended to streamline operations within the scrap metal industry while ensuring that law enforcement can still monitor transactions effectively.
