Bill Summary
Relative to the felony threshold for multiple offenses for the crime of theft. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends sections of the Massachusetts General Laws to allow for the aggregation of multiple theft-related offenses that occur within a 180-day period. This means that instead of being charged separately for each individual theft, the accused can be charged with a single count where the total value of the stolen property, goods, or services is used to determine whether the crime is a misdemeanor or a felony. This change aims to provide a more comprehensive approach to addressing repeated theft offenses within a relatively short timeframe.
