Bill > HB147

This bill amends Louisiana law to expand the definition of "racketeering activity," which refers to engaging in a pattern of criminal acts. Specifically, it adds mail theft and the theft or unauthorized reproduction of a mail receptacle key or lock to the list of crimes that can be considered racketeering activity. This means that committing, attempting, conspiring, or even encouraging someone else to commit these specific mail-related offenses can now be prosecuted under racketeering laws, which often carry more severe penalties. The bill also directs the Louisiana State Law Institute to renumber existing sections of the law to accommodate these new additions.
