Upgrades theft to a crime of the first degree if amount involved is $500,000 or more.

The bill would upgrade the crime of theft to a first-degree crime if the amount involved is $500,000 or more. Under the current law, theft remains a second-degree crime if the amount involved is $75,000 but less than $500,000. The bill also makes technical changes to clarify that theft of human remains by deception or falsification of a document under the “Revised Uniform Anatomical Gift Act” would remain a crime of the first degree.
