Scrap metal businesses and junkyards are now required to obtain vehicle identification and documentation before purchasing used catalytic converters under a new law aimed at reducing thefts across New Jersey. The measure, which was signed into law by Gov. Phil Murphy last week, amends the legal definition of "scrap metal" to include all or part of a used catalytic converter that is not attached to a car. When purchasing from a seller, scrap metal businesses must document the vehicle's identification number, certificate of title or registration, a receipt from a repair transaction or a bill of the car's sale, unless they are buying from a registered car parts business.
