Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates the crime of intentionally taking by the use of force, or by the

threat of the use of force, a vehicle without the consent of the owner. The penalty

This bill also increases to a Class F felony the penalty classification for a repeat
