Addressing motor vehicle and retail theft offenses.

HB 1452 increases penalties for motor vehicle and retail theft in Washington. It creates new felony charges for "organized retail theft" (starting at $750 in stolen goods across multiple stores or with multiple accomplices) and adds a $50,000 fine for thefts exceeding $20,000. Drivers who flee police while suspected of vehicle theft face harsher penalties, including a more severe felony charge. The bill also directs funding for specialized prosecutors in counties with high theft rates to address these crimes.
