Under existing law, a secondary metals recycler must maintain certain information regarding cash purchases of copper and other secondary metals.

This bill would clarify that the secondary metals recycler may accept only a personal identification card containing a birth date and a unique identification number, which the secondary metals recycler is required to record in his or her records. This bill would require the secondary metals recycler to maintain this information in the record of the transaction along with the name and address of both the person receiving consideration for the metal property and the person delivering the metal property. This bill would also require the secondary metals recycler to include the make, model, and color of the vehicle delivering the metal property. This bill would clarify that the secondary metals recycler must enter all of the information into the Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center Database.

This bill would require the Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center to make certain changes in the secondary metals database to facilitate searches by date of birth in conjunction with the first and last name of the seller of metal property and the person delivering the metal property if that person is different from the person receiving consideration for the property.
