SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Possession, purchase, sale, and transportation of catalytic converters; penalty. Makes it a Class 6 felony for any person to sell, offer for sale, or purchase a catalytic converter from a motor vehicle exhaust system that has been detached from a motor vehicle. The bill also makes it a Class 6 felony for any person to transport from inside the Commonwealth to outside of the Commonwealth a catalytic converter from a motor vehicle exhaust system that has been detached from a motor vehicle with the intent to sell such catalytic converter. The bill provides that a person who is in possession of a catalytic converter that has been removed from a motor vehicle is presumed to have criminally obtained such catalytic converter unless the person is an authorized agent or employee acting in the performance of his official duties for a motor vehicle dealer, motor vehicle garage or repair shop, or salvage yard that is licensed or registered by the Commonwealth or a person who possesses vehicle registration documentation indicating that the catalytic converter in the person's possession is the result of a replacement of a catalytic converter from a vehicle registered in that person's name.
