Bill Summary
This bill grades theft of a motor vehicle as a crime of the first degree if, during the course of the offense, the vehicle is operated in a manner that creates a risk of injury to any person or a risk of damage to property. A first degree crime is punishable by up to 20 years imprisonment, a fine of up to $200,000, or both. It is the sponsor's view that in instances where, in the course of committing theft of a motor vehicle, the actor exposes innocent persons to injury, or property to damage, sufficiently high penalties are warranted to deter this extremely violent conduct.
