Bill > H1456

This bill proposes to create a new crime called "larceny by overcoming a security device," which would apply to individuals who knowingly possess tools or devices specifically designed to bypass security measures, such as anti-theft tags, on merchandise in stores with the intent to steal. If convicted, a person could face up to two years in jail, a fine of up to $1,000, or both. This aims to address a specific type of retail theft where individuals come prepared to disable security features before stealing items.
