MINOR

This bill amendment adds a 'no parole' provision to the mandatory twelve-month minimum sentence for first-degree theft involving property valued over $250,000. The change ensures that individuals convicted of this specific crime cannot be released early, even if they complete their probation or serve part of an indeterminate sentence.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on first-degree theft of property exceeding $250,000, but the consequences for those convicted are now stricter regarding early release.

REQUIREMENT

The mandatory twelve-month minimum sentence for first-degree theft over $250,000 is now explicitly without the possibility of parole, applying to both indeterminate sentences and probation conditions.
