{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Under legislation that cleared the Senate Wednesday by a vote of 33-0, scrap yards would be barred from paying cash for copper and other recyclable metals. The measure requires people who sell scrap metal to be paid by check that would be sent by mail, a move that could give police names and addresses if the metals are later found to be stolen. Nationwide, copper thefts are estimated to cost businesses $1 billion a year.
