Bill overview
This bill amends Arizona’s theft laws to specifically address instances of theft involving vulnerable adults. It defines ‘theft’ to include situations where someone takes control of a vulnerable adult’s property while in a position of trust, even if a gift is involved. The bill also clarifies the circumstances under which a person can be considered a vulnerable adult and establishes felony classifications based on the value of the stolen property, with higher values resulting in more severe penalties. It includes provisions regarding ferrous and nonferrous metal theft and addresses the handling of scrap metal to deter the sale of stolen goods.
