Bill Summary
Requires a mandatory twelve-month minimum sentence of incarceration for a conviction of theft in the first degree when the value of the property or services stolen exceeds $250,000, whether imposed as a mandatory minimum sentence for an indeterminate term of imprisonment or as a condition of probation, in addition to any other authorized disposition such as restitution or a fine.
AI Summary
This bill mandates a minimum twelve-month jail sentence for anyone convicted of theft in the first degree when the stolen property or services are valued at over $250,000. This mandatory minimum sentence applies whether it's part of a longer prison term or as a condition of probation, and it is in addition to other penalties like paying back the victim (restitution) or fines. The bill amends existing law to specify that theft in the first degree, which previously was a class B felony, now carries this additional mandatory incarceration requirement for high-value thefts.
