SB 935 would grant metal recyclers or used automotive parts recyclers the ability to purchase untitled vehicles at least 12 years old and purchased solely for parts or scrap. Extensive recordkeeping, reporting, and other conditions would be required.
SB 935 would create additional reporting requirements for recyclers in possession of a vehicle that is found to be stolen and would create criminal offenses for those not following certain procedures.
