HB 288 Larceny; firearms.

Introduced by: Whittington W. Clement | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Larceny; firearms. Reconciles §§ 18.2-95 and 18.2-108.1, which both make larceny of a firearm not from the person of another a felony but have different penalties. Currently, under § 18.2-95 the penalty is not less than one year nor more than 20 years of state imprisonment and under § 18.2-108.1, the penalty is a Class 6 felony (not less than one year nor more than five years imprisonment).

This bill eliminates the § 18.1-108.1 provision, thereby making the penalty be not less than one year nor more than 20 years of state imprisonment.
