Raises the monetary value of damaged property that is considered criminal mischief or securities fraud

This bill raises the monetary thresholds that define certain property damage and fraud offenses as felonies. It increases the amount of property damage triggering criminal mischief (from $250 to $1,000) and raises the threshold for second-degree criminal mischief (from $1,500 to $3,000). For securities fraud, it raises the value requiring a class E felony charge from $250 to $1,000. These changes directly affect individuals or entities whose actions exceed these new dollar amounts, reclassifying lower-value offenses as misdemeanors instead of felonies.
