The legislature finds that rates of catalytic converter theft have rapidly increased statewide and nationwide, due in part to existing challenges with accurately identifying stolen catalytic converters and tracking them through the stream of commerce after they have been removed from their originating vehicles. The legislature also finds that recent evidence suggests most purchases of stolen catalytic converters are conducted by unlicensed, unregulated purchasers.
Therefore, the legislature intends to require all purchasers to be licensed and subject to regulation and inspection. The legislature also intends to create a related structure for enforcing these provisions and imposing penalties commensurate with the enforcement and penalty structures found in comparable areas of law.
The definitions in this section apply throughout this chapter unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
At the time of a transaction, every scrap metal business doing business in this state shall produce wherever that business is conducted an accurate and legible record of each transaction involving private metal property or nonferrous metal property. This record must be written in the English language, documented on a standardized form or in electronic form, and contain the following information:
The signature of the person with whom the transaction is made;
The time, date, location, and value of the transaction;
The name of the employee representing the scrap metal business in the transaction;
The name, street address, and telephone number of the person with whom the transaction is made;
The license plate number and state of issuance of the license plate on the motor vehicle used to deliver the private metal property or nonferrous metal property subject to the transaction;
A description of the motor vehicle used to deliver the private metal property or nonferrous metal property subject to the transaction;
A copy of the seller's current driver's license or other government-issued picture identification card; and
A description of the predominant types of private metal property or nonferrous metal property subject to the transaction, utilizing the institute of scrap recycling industries' generally accepted terminology, and including weight, quantity, or volume
.
Every person involved in the purchase or solicitation of the purchase of a catalytic converter that has been removed from a vehicle, in addition to meeting the requirements of subsection (1) of this section, shall also:
Possess a valid scrap metal license pursuant to RCW 19.290.100 or vehicle wrecker license pursuant to RCW 46.80.020, conspicuously display the license at any location where a purchase is intended to take place and be available for inspection on request by law enforcement or the department of licensing, and include the license number in all advertisements soliciting the purchase of catalytic converters; and
Complete an accurate and legible record of the transaction in English, documented on a standardized form or in electronic form, that contains the following information in addition to the requirements of subsection (1) of this section:
A copy of the title or registration of the originating vehicle, or a declaration stating that the catalytic converter in the seller's possession was removed from a vehicle registered in the seller's name; and
The vehicle identification number of the originating vehicle.
For every transaction that involves private metal property or nonferrous metal property and is subject to subsection (1) or (2) of this section, the purchaser shall require the person with whom a transaction is being made to sign a declaration. The declaration may be included as part of the transactional record required under subsection (1) of this section, or on a receipt for the transaction. The declaration must state substantially the following:
"I, the undersigned, affirm under penalty of law that the property that is subject to this transaction is not to the best of my knowledge stolen property and the information provided by me is accurate."
The declaration must be signed and dated by the person with whom the transaction is being made. The purchaser or an employee of the purchaser must witness the signing and dating of the declaration and sign the declaration accordingly before any transaction may be consummated.
No scrap metal business may enter into a transaction to purchase or receive private metal property or nonferrous metal property from any person who cannot produce at least one piece of current government-issued picture identification, including a valid driver's license or identification card issued by any state.
No scrap metal business may purchase or receive private metal property or commercial metal property unless the seller: (a) Has a commercial account with the scrap metal business; (b) can prove ownership of the property by producing written documentation that the seller is the owner of the property; or (c) can produce written documentation that the seller is an employee or agent authorized to sell the property on behalf of a commercial enterprise.

No transaction involving private metal property or nonferrous metal property may be made in cash or with any person who does not provide a street address and photographic identification and sign a declaration under the requirements of RCW 19.290.020 except as described in (b) and (c) of this subsection. The person with whom the transaction is being made may only be paid by a nontransferable check, mailed by the purchaser to a street address provided under RCW 19.290.020, no earlier than three days after the transaction was made. A transaction occurs on the date provided in the record required under RCW 19.290.020.

transaction is fully documented as required under this chapter.
c. Payment to individual sellers of private metal property as defined in this chapter may not be made at the time of the transaction and shall not be paid earlier than three business days after the transaction was made.

In addition to all other requirements of this chapter, upon request by any commissioned law enforcement officer of the state or any of its political subdivisions, every person, scrap metal business, scrap metal recycler, or other purchaser shall furnish a full, true, and correct transcript of the records from the purchase or receipt of private metal property, nonferrous metal property, and commercial metal property involving only a specified individual, vehicle, or item of private metal property, nonferrous metal property, or commercial metal property. This information may be transmitted within a specified time of not less than two business days to the applicable law enforcement agency electronically, by facsimile transmission, or by modem or similar device, or by delivery of computer disk subject to the requirements of, and approval by, the chief of police or the county's chief law enforcement officer.
Any records created or produced under this section are exempt from disclosure under chapter 42.56 RCW.
If the person, scrap metal business, scrap metal recycler, or other purchaser has good cause to believe that any private metal property, nonferrous metal property, or commercial metal property in their possession has been previously lost or stolen, the purchaser shall promptly report that fact to the applicable commissioned law enforcement officer of the state, the chief of police, or the county's chief law enforcement officer, together with the documentation of the transaction, the name of the owner, if known, and the date when and the name of the person from whom it was received.
Compliance with this section shall not give rise to or form the basis of private civil liability on the part of a person, scrap metal business, scrap metal recycler, or other purchaser.
Each violation of the requirements of this chapter that are not subject to the criminal penalties under RCW 9A.56.410 shall be punishable by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars. Each catalytic converter possessed or trafficked in violation of this chapter is a separate violation.
Within two years of a violation of any of the requirements of this chapter that results in a civil penalty under this section, each subsequent violation shall be punishable by a fine of not more than two thousand dollars.
No person may engage in the business of disassembling or de-canning a catalytic converter for removal or processing of the internal core to extract platinum, palladium, rhodium, or other metals, unless the person is a licensed scrap metal processor or scrap metal recycler.
Any licensed scrap metal processor or scrap metal recycler engaged in disassembling or de-canning catalytic converters as described in this section shall maintain the records of every catalytic converter the scrap metal processor or scrap metal recycler possesses or processes as required under this chapter.
Any licensed scrap metal processor or scrap metal recycler engaged in disassembling or de-canning catalytic converters as described in this section shall implement a 30-day waiting period between the purchase and disassembly or de-canning of a catalytic converter, unless the scrap metal processor or scrap metal recycler is also the registered owner of the originating vehicle.
Subject to the availability of amounts appropriated for this specific purpose, the Washington state patrol shall:
Conduct periodic inspections at least once a year of all licensed purchasers of catalytic converters that have been removed from vehicles, as described under RCW 19.290.050, to ensure compliance with the requirements of chapter 19.290 RCW;
Develop a standardized inspection form and train local law enforcement agencies, civilian employees, and limited authority law enforcement personnel on inspection procedures of licensed purchasers;
Specify which specific law enforcement agencies have a duty to inspect the different business types that are licensed to purchase catalytic converters; and
Allow inspections to be conducted by civilian employees or limited authority law enforcement agencies to increase the availability of potential inspectors.
A person is guilty of trafficking in catalytic converters in the second degree if he or she knowingly traffics catalytic converters that have been removed from a motor vehicle and the person purchases four or fewer catalytic converters, and they do not fulfill the requirements of chapter 19.290 RCW for a lawful transfer.
Trafficking in catalytic converters in the second degree is a class C felony.
