This article is an exercise of the city's police power to promote regulation of metal recycling entities through the recovery of stolen property. In addition to state law, the city seeks to provide additional licensing, recordkeeping requirements, and enforcement procedures, that will enable the Fort Worth police department to identify and recover public and private property composed of certain metal that may have been illegally appropriated.
