AI Summary
-
Amends Section 13A-8-18 of the Alabama Code to classify receiving a stolen firearm valued at $500 or less as receiving stolen property in the second degree, a Class C felony.
-
Currently, receiving stolen property must exceed $500 to constitute second degree receiving stolen property; this bill lowers the threshold specifically for firearms to any value up to $500.
-
Classifies the enhanced penalty as coming within a constitutional exception regarding local expenditures, so it does not require a 2/3 legislative vote or local approval to become effective.
-
The bill becomes effective on the first day of the third month following passage and approval by the Governor.
