Read first time January 30, 1991. Referred to Committee on Transportation.
AN ACT Relating to hulk haulers and scrap processors; and adding a new section to chapter 46.79 RCW.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. A new section is added to chapter 46.79 RCW to read as follows:
It is the intent of the legislature to license and regulate hulk haulers and scrap processors for the purpose of discouraging a market in stolen vehicles and vehicle components. The legislature further recognizes that hulk haulers and scrap processors provide an important link in the state's solid waste management system by reusing and recycling a significant volume of materials that would otherwise be disposed of. It is further the intent of the legislature that this chapter be enforced in a manner that will not unduly impede the reuse and recycling of vehicles and vehicle components.
