This bill died with 2021-2022 Regular Session. It reached “Passed Senate” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law makes mail theft, as defined, a crime punishable by a fine, by imprisonment in a county jail not to exceed one year, or by both a fine and imprisonment. Existing law limits mail theft to specified types of theft from the routes and facilities of the United States Postal Service. This bill would expand that crime to also apply to mail theft from a private mail carrier's shipping or delivery route. By expanding the scope of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
