relating to the regulation of used automotive parts recycling, including the removal of license plates and registration insignia.
Caption from analyzed text · version I.
The bill says Texas's used auto parts recycler rules do not cover people who sell used parts casually or only as a side part of their business, and it tells the state commission to write rules spelling out that exemption. It also requires licensed recyclers to pull every license plate and registration sticker off a vehicle as soon as they receive it, not just the unexpired ones. Recyclers will handle and destroy all plates, and occasional or side-business sellers stay outside the licensing chapter.
