An Act relative to felony threshold for multiple theft offenses

This Massachusetts bill modifies state theft laws to allow prosecutors to combine multiple theft incidents into a single count if they occur within an 180-day period. By aggregating the total value of property stolen across these related incidents, the law determines whether the case is charged as a misdemeanor or a felony. The changes apply specifically to four sections of the General Laws covering various types of theft offenses. This provision aims to provide a clearer standard for classifying repeat theft behavior based on the cumulative value of the crimes rather than evaluating each incident separately.
