The bill, if passed, will allow for metal recyclers to be able to track catalytic converters. They’re prized for precious metals and known as well for an upswing in thefts. Taking a converter could be punishable in any amount of ways. Taking a converter at this point could range anywhere from a Class H to a Class I felony. Senate Bill 99 is likely to create stealing as a conversion towards a Class I felony.
