                   SENATE, No. 4528

 STATE OF NEW JERSEY
                   DATED: NOVEMBER 17, 2025

    The Senate Commerce Committee reports favorably Senate Bill
No. 4528.
    This bill updates current statutes regulating scrap metal businesses
by establishing certain safety measures to be followed by each
business. A scrap metal business is to conduct a quarterly audit of
records to be retained pursuant to current law and ensure that items
that are prohibited are not on the premises of the business.
Additionally, each business is to reduce the likelihood of a fire by, at a
minimum: (1) installing and maintaining an on-site fire suppression
system so that it can be remotely operated; and (2) employing or
contracting with individuals who are trained in fire suppression. A
scrap metal business is given five years to install the on-site fire
suppression system.
