Revises provisions relating to organized retail theft. (BDR 15-727)
SB 219 amends Nevada's organized retail theft law to increase penalties based on the total value of stolen goods over 120 days. It establishes three penalty tiers: $3,500-$10,000 (1-10 years prison, $10,000 fine), $10,000-$50,000 (2-15 years, $20,000 fine), and $50,000+ (3-20 years, $30,000 fine). The bill requires courts to order restitution and clarifies that all thefts by participants in a scheme must be aggregated for sentencing. It directly affects individuals involved in organized retail theft rings, defined as repeated thefts from merchants or online with intent to resell or return for value. The law also allows prosecution in any Nevada jurisdiction where thefts occurred.
