AI Summary
This bill establishes a new Class D felony classification for criminal offenses in Alabama, adjusting penalties and definitions for various crimes, including burglary, theft, and receiving stolen property, by reclassifying certain offenses and increasing monetary thresholds for theft-related crimes. It also specifies that the Alabama Habitual Offender Law, which enhances penalties for repeat offenders, will not apply to Class D felonies, but the split sentencing law, which allows for a combination of incarceration and probation, will apply. The bill also amends definitions and penalties related to criminal mischief, criminal tampering, forgery, and bail jumping, among other offenses, and clarifies that the new classifications and penalties apply to offenses committed after the bill's effective date.
