CA SB1416

Creates sentencing enhancements for selling, exchanging, or returning for value property acquired through shoplifting, theft, or burglary from retail businesses, regardless of whether the person committed the original theft.

Imposes consecutive additional prison terms based on property value: one year for exceeding $50,000; two years for exceeding $200,000; three years for exceeding $1,000,000; and four years for exceeding $3,000,000, plus one additional year for each additional $3,000,000 in value.

Applies enhancements to persons acting in concert with others to sell, exchange, or return stolen property, and allows aggregate property values from multiple charges to trigger enhancements if arising from a common scheme or plan.

Requires that facts relating to property value thresholds be charged in the accusatory pleading and admitted by the defendant or found true by the trier of fact before enhancement can be imposed.

Expires January 1, 2030, unless extended by later legislation, allowing the Legislature to review the impact of inflation on sentencing terms.
