KY's new law is waiting for the Governor's signature last I heard. "Secondary metal recyclers" will have to register with the state now and pass a background check. Certain convictions will prevent registration.

Several of the most commonly stolen items will have quite a lot of restrictions on their sale - including reporting their sale to the police and payment by check.

It may not stop crooked scrap yard employees like Julie wrote about above. It's hard to stop people who have no respect for the law.

Wasn't sure if the KY law is going to apply to scrappers or just the yards but the bill includes this as one of the definitions of "secondary metal recycler"- " Any recycler, dealer in junk or metals, dealer in secondhand articles, vendor of bottles or tages, or collector of or dealer in articles found in ashes, garbage , or other refuse, whether a dealer, collector or vendor operates an establised place of businesor itinerant business" .
