<br />Comments:The amended bill makes many small changes to the original, most of which have a positive
<br />impact. Adding wire of the gauges we use for street lights to the list of metals covered and
<br />excluding aluminum beverage cans. Other changes like reducing the minimum ae to resell
<br />metal from 18 to 16 are more neutral. The only negative changes I find are reducing the
<br />period after conviction for several crimes, during which a person is prohibited from selling
<br />certain metals and shortening the period in which checks must be sent from 10 days to 3
<br />days. While these changes weaken the bill, they are not so serious as to reduce our support.
<br />I would defer to Ellwood for a law enforcement perspective on any changes to the
<br />investigation and prosecution aspects of the bill.
<br />All the important aspects of the bill remained in place.
