Excerpt from the Main article at GSN news.....
..........Schumer said his proposal would federalize penalties for metal theft and
increase documentation requirements for scrap metal buyers. He said the bill
would require documentation proving that those selling metal to recyclers own
the metal or are authorized to sell it; require recyclers to keep detailed
records for purchases of metal; cap the amount at $100 in cash that recyclers
can pay for scrap metal; create a specific federal crime of stealing metal from
critical infrastructure, and more.............
