   § 69-g. Records.  1.  Such  scrap  processor  shall  record  (i)  each
 purchase  of any pig or pigs of metal, bronze or brass castings or parts
 thereof, sprues or gates or parts thereof, utility  wire  or  brass  car
 journals,  or  of metal beer kegs, and (ii) each purchase of iron, steel

 MOTOR VEHICLE DRIVEN BY THE SELLER AT THE TIME OF TRANSACTION, the driv-
 er's license number or information from a government issued photographic

 will  reasonably  locate  the  seller,  the  type  and  quantity of such
 purchase; and the scrap processor shall cause such record to  be  signed
 by  the  seller  or  his  agent.  It shall be unlawful for any seller to
 refuse to furnish such information or to furnish incorrect or incomplete
 information. Such scrap processor shall also make and retain a  copy  of
 the  government  issued  photographic identification card used to verify
 the identity of the person from whom the scrap metal was  purchased  and
 shall  retain  this  copy  in  a  separate  book, register or electronic
 archive for two years from the date of purchase.
