The Grand Larceny Threshold Bill was approved by the Senate Courts of Justice. While it does not meet the $1500 that VSCX-NAACP sought, it is a new beginning. The committee vote was 39 yea, 1 abstention.  On January 28, it passed the Virginia Senate by vote of 26-Yes to 14-No.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Grand larceny; threshold. Increases from $200 to $500 the threshold amount of money taken or value of goods or chattel taken at which the crime rises from petit larceny to grand larceny. The bill increases the threshold by the same amount for the classification of certain property crimes.
