Rep. Lawanna Lou Shurtliff (D)

HB 189 (Theft Amendments)

Libertas Institute opposes this bill.

This bill makes it a felony to steal something over $100 if you have three previous convictions for theft.

Libertas opposes this bill. Raising the criminal penalty to such a high level for such a low value of property is over-criminalization and not an appropriate punishment under the law.
