Penalty for Theft of Firearms

Concerning the penalty for theft of firearms, and, in connection therewith, making an appropriation.
Session:
2025 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 the firearm's value. Subsequent violations, including multiple firearms stolen in the same criminal incident, are separate class 5 felonies. The bill appropriates $323,825 from the general fund to the judicial department to implement the bill.
