DE HB276

Allows prosecutors to aggregate a series of related thefts committed as part of a continuing course of conduct into a single charge, with the combined value determining the degree of the felony.

Defines "continuing course of conduct" as a pattern of more than one act over any period of time, regardless of duration.

Permits evidence of theft acts occurring in one Delaware jurisdiction to be used by another jurisdiction as evidence of a continuing pattern of conduct.

Maintains existing theft classification thresholds: class A misdemeanor under $1,500, class G felony at $1,500+, class D felony for $50,000-$100,000, and class B felony for $100,000 or more.

Preserves enhanced penalties for thefts against victims who are 62 or older, adults who are impaired, or persons with disabilities.
