An Act amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in theft and related offenses, further providing for grading of theft offenses.

Summary

The legislation revises Pennsylvania’s theft grading rules so that stealing items worth more than $2,000, stealing automobiles, airplanes, motorcycles, motorboats or other motor‑propelled vehicles, stealing human remains, or receiving stolen property as a business becomes a third‑degree felony. It also adds clear definitions for “human remains,” “manmade disaster,” “natural disaster,” and “war‑caused disaster.” The change would raise penalties for those specific theft situations.
