STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS30086 / H0053
Idaho Code 18-2407 covers the grading of theft into separate categories: grand and petit. This legislation would
amend Idaho Code 18-2407(1)(B)(i) by making a partial inflationary adjustment- $1000 to $1800- to the dollar
threshold triggering felony liability. This threshold has not been adjusted in a quarter century.
This legislation will (a) update part of what the legislature considers to be a 'serious' theft and (b) protect victims
of theft by increasing the number of thieves who can get jobs and make their restitution payments.
FISCAL NOTE
This legislation will have no impact on the General Fund.
