Criminal Law - Mail and Package Theft

SB 410 amends Maryland's criminal code to strengthen penalties for mail and package theft. It prohibits stealing mail or packages under specific circumstances and bans possessing certain tools (like "arrow keys") used in such thefts. The bill also establishes concurrent jurisdiction for District and Circuit Courts to prosecute violations of these new provisions. This law directly affects individuals who steal mail or packages, with penalties applying to both the theft and related tool possession. The changes update existing statutes (repealing Section 3-905 and adding Sections 3-905 and 3-905.1) to address modern package delivery theft concerns.
