Upgrades crime of theft of scrap metal from transportation system.

This bill raises penalties for stealing scrap metal from transportation systems like bridges, rail lines, or highways. It specifies that such theft is now graded as a third-degree crime if the value is under $75,000 (previously it might have been a lower-level offense), and removes the automatic presumption against imprisonment for this specific violation. The law directly affects individuals who steal scrap metal from public infrastructure, including metal from roads, transit systems, or transportation equipment. The key change is explicitly adding transportation system scrap metal theft to the list of offenses that trigger higher penalties, rather than treating it as standard property theft.
