Bill > H1343

This bill, titled "Relative to Larceny," proposes to amend Section 30 of Chapter 266 of the General Laws, which deals with larceny, a legal term for theft. Specifically, it aims to increase the monetary threshold for certain larceny offenses. Currently, the law specifies "two hundred and fifty dollars" in several places within Section 30, and this bill seeks to replace that amount with "one thousand five hundred dollars." This means that the value of stolen goods or services would need to exceed $1,500, rather than $250, for certain larceny charges to apply, potentially altering the severity of penalties for theft cases involving amounts between these two figures.
