AZ HB2597

Amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 13-1802 to classify theft of delivered packages or mail as a class 6 felony, regardless of the package or mail's value.

Currently, theft of property valued under $1,000 is a class 1 misdemeanor, but this bill elevates the classification for theft of packages or mail that were delivered to a residence, dwelling place, or business.

The new classification places package and mail theft in the same felony category as theft from a person or theft of a firearm, creating enhanced penalties for this specific offense.

Modifies the definition section to clarify that "ferrous metal" has the same meaning as prescribed in section 44-1641 (corrects prior grammatical error).

Applies to packages and mail taken after delivery to residential or commercial locations, providing specific protection for delivered goods.
