This bill modifies criminal penalties for an offense involving the theft of a firearm from a licensed importer, manufacturer, or dealer, or from their business premises.

Specifically, the bill does the following:

  • increases from 10 to 20 years the maximum prison term, and

An attempt to commit an offense is subject to the same penalties as a substantive offense.
