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.............
