Lawmakers OK bill to crack down on metal sales to combat thefts

The Tucson Citizen

The state Legislature approved a bill intended to combat widespread metal thefts due to high prices for scrap by making it harder for thieves to anonymously sell stolen wire, air conditioner parts and other material stripped from buildings, farm equipment and other locations.

The Senate approved the final version of the bill (HB2314) 26-3 on Thursday, two days after the House passed it on a 55-0 vote. It now goes to Gov. Janet Napolitano.
