Summary

Current law criminalizes auto theft as aggravated motor vehicle
theft in the first degree and aggravated motor vehicle theft in the second
degree. The penalties for both aggravated motor vehicle thefts are based
on the value of the vehicle or vehicles stolen.
The bill changes the term of the offense aggravated motor vehicle
theft to motor vehicle theft. The elements for motor vehicle theft in the

in the first degree is a class 3 felony, motor vehicle theft in the second
degree is a class 4 felony, and motor vehicle theft in the third degree is a
class 5 felony.
The bill creates the offense unauthorized use of a motor vehicle
and makes it a class 1 misdemeanor, or a class 5 felony for a second or
