Provides for enhanced penalties for larceny and criminal possession of stolen property against elderly persons

This bill increases penalties for theft and possession of stolen property when the victim is 60 years of age or older. It applies to offenders who knew the victim's age before or during the crime and have a prior conviction for similar offenses against elderly people. Under this law, misdemeanor theft cases become class E felonies, and felony cases move up one severity category. The changes affect prosecutors, courts, and individuals charged with these specific crimes against older adults.
