Representative Decker, prime sponsor, presented House Bill 06-1007 which prohibits a person purchasing a motor vehicle for the purpose of scrapping the motor vehicle to do so without specific documents, requires the person to contact local law enforcement to make sure the motor vehicle was not stolen, requires the person to send certain documents to the Department of Revenue (DOR), and requires DOR to keep records related to abandoned vehicles that are wrecked or dismantled for a specific amount of time.

Tom Davis, a detective specializing in auto theft for the El Paso Sheriff's Office, spoke in support of the bill. Mr. Davis explained that current law allows an individual to take a vehicle to a crusher or shredder with any type of proof of ownership, including a piece of paper with "Bill of Sale" handwritten on it, and have the vehicle crushed or dismantled.
