Bill > H1453

This bill, concerning malicious destruction of property, proposes to amend Section 127 of Chapter 266 of the General Laws by increasing the monetary threshold for certain penalties. Specifically, it aims to change the amount from "two hundred and fifty dollars" to "one thousand five hundred dollars" in line 12 of that section, meaning that the penalties associated with malicious destruction of property will now apply to damages exceeding $1,500 instead of $250. This change is being made by the Judiciary committee and will affect how the law is applied to cases of property damage.
