Another provision deals with beer keg illegally being sold to scrap metal dealers. The provision states that a scrap metal dealer or recyclable metal dealer may not purchase beer kegs from any person other than the beer manufacturer whose identity is printed, stamped or attached to the beer keg. The dealer who purchases the beer keg must also obtain a proof of ownership record from the seller of the beer keg and verify the seller's identity by government-issued photo identification.
We also sought to put some teeth into this measure by authorizing the state's attorney or the attorney general to pursue a legal action against scrap processors violating these provisions. They may also seek an injunction to prevent illegal operations. This will give them additional tools to act when they see violations of this bill. This legislation also establishes new penalties for noncompliance with this legislation. A first offense would result in up to a year in prison and a $2,500 fine. A second or subsequent offense could result in one to three years in prison and a fine of $25,000.
We did include exemptions for electrical contractors, licensed automotive parts recyclers, business-to-business sales, and professional building demolition companies who deal with large quantities of these materials. These individuals responsibly use these materials everyday and this exemption improves the existing law.
