One permit is for persons who intend to sell scrap two times or less per year, and the other is for persons selling scrap on a regular basis.



Personally, I don't believe this law will act as much of a deterrent for those who are breaking the law and stealing things. They will always find a way to get around such things.
Ya, but your not going to see too many of them walking into the Sheriff's Dept. to get a permit, their afraid someone might keep them, or maybe recognize them from a warrant,,,
