Adjusts theft offense classifications and monetary thresholds in Hawaii to reflect inflation.

This bill revises Hawaii's theft statutes by removing the requirement for a culpable mental state regarding the value of stolen property when determining the grade of the offense. It also updates the monetary thresholds for different degrees of theft to reflect inflation. For instance, theft in the third degree now applies to property or services valued over $400, and theft in the first degree applies to property or services valued over $28,000. The bill aims to align Hawaii's theft laws with the Model Penal Code and reduce unnecessary complexity and litigation.
