IN RE: |
HB4779 by Bhojani (Relating to the prosecution of the criminal offense of organized retail theft.), As Engrossed |
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would limit the conduct constituting the offense of organized retail theft by requiring that the total value of the merchandise be at least $100 and that the act be committed with the intent to support, facilitate, or engage in the acquisition of stolen retail merchandise and the redistribution of that merchandise into the supply chain.
It is assumed that any fiscal impact and any impact on state correctional populations or on the demand for state correctional resources would not be significant. While it is assumed that any state revenue impact would not be significant, it would be dependent on the number of offenses committed and the associated court costs.
