HB1723 amends the Illinois Criminal Code to redefine theft involving rented or leased property, including vehicles, equipment, and library materials. It specifies that theft occurs when a person knowingly fails to return rented or leased property after receiving a notification to do so. The bill allows for electronic means, including email, to notify the person to return the property. It also sets different penalties based on the type and value of the property stolen, with theft of library materials over $300 being a Class 3 felony.
