Illinois HB1773 criminalizes the theft of mail with intent to defraud.
HB1773 amends the Criminal Code of 2012 to prohibit taking, holding, concealing, or destroying mail addressed to another person with intent to defraud. Violators face a Class A misdemeanor for a first offense and a Class 3 felony for subsequent offenses. The bill defines "mail" broadly and applies regardless of the victim's life status. It does not prevent prosecution for other related crimes.
