Engrossed → House Committee Substitute · 4 edits

MODERATE

The bill was converted from an 'Engrossed' version to a 'Committee Substitute,' indicating it has been revised by the House Committee. The most significant substantive change is the removal of a specific provision that allowed for a Class D3 felony penalty if multiple petit larceny offenses occurred within an 180-day period with a combined value over $900. This specific multi-offense threshold was deleted and replaced with a new rule stating that any third or subsequent petit larceny conviction automatically results in a felony charge, regardless of the time frame or total value involved.

Scope change

The scope of felony penalties for repeat petty theft was expanded. Previously, a third offense only became a felony if it met specific criteria regarding the time window and total value; now, any third offense is automatically a felony.

REQUIREMENT

Deleted the specific rule requiring three petit larceny offenses to occur within an 180-day period and exceed $900 in total value to trigger a felony charge.

Added a new provision stating that any person convicted of a third or subsequent petit larceny offense is automatically guilty of a felony, punishable by up to two years in prison or a fine.

DEFINITION

Changed the threshold for grand larceny by removing the text '$1,000.00' and inserting '$900.00', lowering the monetary value required to classify theft as a grand larceny.

TECHNICAL

Updated the document header from 'Engrossed House' to 'Committee Substitute' and adjusted page numbering and tracking numbers to reflect the committee's revisions.
