Bill > HB106

This bill introduces several key changes to Alaska's theft laws, focusing on organized theft, medical records theft, and mail theft. First, it creates a new criminal offense called "organized theft," which occurs when three or more people coordinate to commit theft offenses, making such actions a class A felony. The bill expands the definition of second-degree theft to include stealing medical records or medical information, alongside existing categories like access devices and identification documents. Additionally, the bill modifies third-degree theft statutes to explicitly include mail theft as a distinct criminal category. The legislation also clarifies that these new provisions will apply to offenses committed on or after the effective date, which is set for July 1, 2025. By broadening the definitions and penalties for theft-related crimes, the bill aims to provide law enforcement with more tools to prosecute coordinated criminal activities and protect various forms of personal property and information.
