Comments
The ACLU of VA supports increasing the Felony Larceny threshold to $1,500. While this bill is a step in the right direction, increasing it to $500 does not even keep up with inflation, which would put the threshold closer to $600 compared to 1980s dollar amount (which is the last time the threshold was increased)
