(a) It is unlawful for a person to possess a used catalytic converter that is not attached to a motor vehicle except when:

(1) the converter is marked with the date the converter was removed from the vehicle and the identification number of the vehicle from which the converter was removed or an alternative number to the vehicle identification number; or

(2) the converter has been EPA certified for reuse as a replacement part.

(b) If an alternative number to the vehicle identification number is used, it must be under a numbering system that can be immediately linked to the vehicle identification number by law enforcement. The marking of the vehicle identification or alternative number may be made in any permanent manner, including but not limited to an engraving or use of permanent ink. The marking must clearly and legibly indicate the date removed and the vehicle identification number or the alternative number and the method by which law enforcement can link the converter to the vehicle identification number.
