Bill overview
This bill strengthens penalties for embezzlement, particularly when targeting vulnerable adults or their estates. It clarifies that individuals can be prosecuted for continuing to misuse funds after a vulnerable adult’s death. The law establishes a tiered system of penalties based on the value of the stolen money or property, with felony charges and longer prison sentences for larger amounts and repeat offenders. It also addresses how multiple offenses within a 12-month period are treated and outlines procedures for determining prior convictions during sentencing.
