Official summary

Abstract published by the legislature (via Open States). Text as published by the legislature; reproduced verbatim.

In current law, the sentencing structure for theft, except for auto theft, is based on the value of the item stolen. The act exempts theft of firearms from that sentencing structure and makes theft of a firearm a class 6 felony, regardless of the firearm's value. The act appropriates $324,225 from the general fund to the judicial department to implement the act. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
