Crimes: theft.

Summary

The bill revises California’s theft statutes so that the worth of stolen copper is measured by the victim’s total repair and replacement costs, not by scrap market price. It also expands liability for vendors and buyers who receive stolen goods without reasonable inquiry. The change aims to deter copper theft by increasing penalties for higher‑value losses.
