HB276

An Act To Amend Title 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Theft.

Final Passage·6/30/26

Delaware HB276 amends theft classifications based on property value and victim status.

Delaware HB276 modifies the Delaware Code to adjust the classification of theft offenses based on the value of stolen property and the status of the victim. Theft becomes a class D felony if the property value is over $50,000 but less than $100,000, and a class B felony if the value is $100,000 or more. The bill also specifies that theft involving victims aged 62 or older, or those defined as "adults who are impaired" or "persons with a disability" is a class G felony unless the property value is $1,500 or more, in which case it is a class F felony.
