Bill Summary
Relative to larceny. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 30 of Chapter 266 of the General Laws to increase the monetary threshold for larceny from $250 to $1,500. Specifically, the bill replaces the phrase "two hundred and fifty dollars" with "one thousand five hundred dollars" in four instances within the existing law. This change increases the value of stolen property that would be considered larceny, effectively raising the bar for what constitutes a more serious theft offense.
