HB 2375: Mail theft

Establishing the crime of mail theft or receipt of stolen mail.

Summary

  • A new section is added to the sentencing reform act, creating three new crimes: obstruction of delivery of mail, destruction of letter boxes or mail, and theft or receipt of stolen mail. In the case of theft or receipt of stolen mail, a rebuttable presumption is created that the offender knows that the mail under his or her control is stolen if it is addressed to two or more different addresses.
