93.3 KWTO Keeping Watch Over the Ozarks
Missouri lawmakers are considering legislation to combat catalytic converter thefts.
House Bill 2276 would require scrap metal buyers to verify that anyone trying to sell them a detached catalytic converter got it legally.
Under the bill, anyone who knowingly buys or obtains a stolen catalytic converter could face a class E felony charge.
The bill would also enable the Department of Revenue to create a website to report records of catalytic converters.
