Summary of the Introduced Bill

HB 1473 -- Stealing

Sponsor:  Cunningham (86)

This bill revises the term "stealing-related offense" as it is
used in Section 570.040, RSMo, to include robbery.  The bill also
removes the requirement that a person must have received at least
a 10-day jail sentence on a prior offense before a third or
subsequent misdemeanor stealing offense can be enhanced to a
felony and clarifies that a person who has previously pled or
been found guilty of two stealing-related offenses which were
committed on two separate occasions, and who subsequently pleads
guilty or is found guilty of a stealing-related offense within 10
years from the first offense will be guilty of a class B felony.
