Penalty for Theft of Firearms

Concerning the penalty for theft of firearms.
Session:
2024 Regular Session
Subject:
Crimes, Corrections, & Enforcement
Bill Summary

In current law, the sentencing structure for theft, except for auto theft, is based on the value of the item stolen. The bill exempts theft of firearms from that sentencing structure and makes theft of a firearm a class 6 felony, regardless of its value. Subsequent violations, including multiple firearms stolen in the same criminal incident, are separate class 5 felonies.
