Bill > H1520

This bill aims to establish penalties for the theft of bulk merchandise containers, such as those used for the transportation, storage, or carrying of retail products like milk, eggs, bottled beverages, and bakery products. The bill proposes fines and potential imprisonment for individuals who intentionally remove these containers from a store or retail establishment without the merchant's consent, with the intention of permanently depriving the merchant of their possession, use, or benefit. The penalties vary based on the number of offenses and the retail value of the containers obtained, with higher fines and possible jail time for more serious or repeated violations.
