Secretary Sullivan’s legislation, which was signed into law last week, limits cash payouts for detached catalytic converters at $25 per transaction per day, reducing the incentive for thieves. The law also states only salvage recyclers licensed with the Secretary of State’s Office can buy or sell catalytic converters.
In Congress, U.S. Rep. Baird has introduced legislation to help law enforcement track and investigate stolen catalytic converters.
The announcement is at 3:30 pm today at the West Lafayette Police Department.
