This bill proposes several updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding theft. It modifies the classification of theft offenses by changing the monetary thresholds for felony classifications. Specifically, it replaces the current thresholds of twenty-five thousand dollars with $25,000, four thousand dollars with $4,000, three thousand dollars with $3,000, two thousand dollars with $2,000, and one thousand dollars with $1,000. Additionally, it clarifies that theft of any vehicle engine or transmission is a class 4 felony regardless of value. The bill also revises the definitions related to "position of trust and confidence" and "vulnerable adult." It removes the previous definitions and replaces them with more detailed criteria for what constitutes a "position of trust and confidence," including various relationships with vulnerable adults. The definition of "vulnerable adult" is expanded to include specific conditions that indicate an individual's inability to protect themselves from abuse, neglect, or exploitation, such as age, health impairments, and dependency on others.
