HB2253

Kansas HB2253 classifies theft of livestock or implements of husbandry as a severity level 5, nonperson felony.

Kansas HB2253 amends the state's criminal code to establish that the theft of livestock or implements of husbandry is a severity level 5, nonperson felony. The bill also allows for the forfeiture of property used in the commission of such thefts. It defines "livestock" and "implement of husbandry" and specifies that property used in the commission of theft, including conveyances, books, records, and research materials, is subject to forfeiture. The act repeals and replaces existing sections of K.S.A. 21-5801 and 22-4807a.
