Bill > SB100

This bill introduces several key changes to Alaska's theft laws, targeting organized criminal activity and expanding the definition of theft in various contexts. First, it creates a new crime called "organized theft," which occurs when three or more people coordinate to commit theft, making such coordinated criminal activity a class A felony. The bill also modifies existing theft laws by expanding the circumstances under which theft can be considered second-degree theft, now including theft of medical records or medical information as a specific category. Additionally, the bill adds mail theft as a third-degree theft offense, which can be charged when someone steals mail, particularly if they have prior theft convictions. These changes aim to provide law enforcement with more tools to prosecute coordinated theft operations and protect specific types of sensitive property like medical records and mail. The new provisions will apply to offenses committed on or after July 1, 2025, giving law enforcement and the judicial system time to prepare for the updated legal framework.
