An Act relative to felony threshold for multiple theft offenses

Summary

The bill lets two or more theft-related violations that happen within a 180‑day window be treated as a single offense, using the total value of stolen property to decide if the charge is a misdemeanor or a felony. It applies to various theft statutes and was intended to create a clearer, more consistent way to assess serious theft cases. The measure failed to pass and was paired with a study order (H5281).
