House Justice Appropriations Subcommittee meeting Tuesday, 03/26/19
Email or call your Representative and urge that he or she vote YES on HB 589 - Theft Offenses at the House Justice Appropriations Subcommittee meeting this Tuesday, 03/26/19 3:30 PM.
HB 589 - Theft Offenses The prison population has exploded and millions of dollars are spent to incarcerate people for nonviolent offenses. Since 2000, at least 37 states have raised their felony theft thresholds above which prosecutors may charge theft offenses as felonies, rather than misdemeanors. Lawmakers have made these changes to prioritize costly prison space for more serious offenders and ensure that value-based penalties take inflation into account. States that increased their thresholds reported roughly the same average decrease in crime as the 22 states that did not change their theft laws.
