Bill Summary

For legislation to modernize the commonwealth's larceny laws. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill aims to modernize the Commonwealth's larceny laws by increasing the threshold for a felony larceny charge from $250 to $1,000. Specifically, the bill amends Section 30 of Chapter 266 of the General Laws to replace the "$250" figure with "$1,000" in two separate instances. This change reflects the need to update monetary thresholds in the larceny laws to account for inflation and the changing economic landscape over time.
