HB 392 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Stolen property; create crime for the sale of and require payment made to the owner of the property.

HB 392 creates a new criminal offense for intentionally selling stolen property (distinct from receiving it) and increases penalties based on the property's value. It requires anyone convicted of selling stolen property to pay the owner the full value of the stolen item before covering court fees or criminal fines. Penalties range from up to 9 months in county jail for property under $1,000 (with probation options) to 22 years in state prison for property over $25,000. This bill directly affects individuals selling stolen goods and property owners seeking restitution.
