New Hampshire HB1670 amends laws to strengthen penalties for organized retail crime and define leadership roles within such enterprises.

HB1670 revises New Hampshire's statutes to enhance penalties for organized retail crime, including defining a leader of such enterprises. A person can be convicted if they knowingly benefit from or further an organized retail crime enterprise, even without direct participation in thefts. Leaders of these enterprises face severe penalties, including up to 25 years in prison if the enterprise's thefts exceed $10,000 in 180 days. The bill also mandates forfeiture of property used in the crime to cover restitution.
