HB24-1241 – Alignment of Petty Property Crime Threshold
Effective Date: This bill was signed into law by the Governor and took effect on February 20, 2024
Bill Page / Signed Act / Last Fiscal Note
Under current law, a court cannot impose a monetary condition of bond for a traffic offense, petty offense, or a comparable municipal offense. However, a monetary condition of bond can be required if the comparable municipal offense is a property crime that would be a petty offense under state law and the loss is more than $50. This bill aligns the property loss amount with the amount that would equate to a petty offense property crime under state law, which is $300.
