Bill Summary
Relative to the felony threshold for multiple offenses for the crime of theft. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends sections of Massachusetts law related to theft offenses. It allows for the aggregation of multiple theft violations occurring within a 180-day period into a single count, with the total value of the stolen property or money used to determine whether the offense is charged as a misdemeanor or a felony. This enables prosecutors to bring more serious charges against individuals who commit repeated theft crimes over a relatively short time period, even if the individual thefts may have each been below the felony threshold.
