HB 375 expands the definition of receiving stolen property in the second degree to include certain property values and firearms, creating new Class C felonies.
It amends Section 13A-8-18 to add three categories that count as second-degree receiving stolen property: property valued between $1,500 and $2,500; property of any value under circumstances described in 13A-8-16(b)(3); and firearms, rifles, or shotguns regardless of value. Second-degree receiving stolen property becomes a Class C felony. The bill is exempt from additional local funding requirements because it creates or amends a crime, and it becomes effective on the first day of the third month after passage and governor's approval (or when it otherwise becomes law).
