AI Generated Summary
The legislative bill proposes a new law that makes it a crime to be in a stolen vehicle if you know or should know that the vehicle is stolen. The first time someone is found in a stolen vehicle, they would be charged with a misdemeanor. If they are caught in a stolen vehicle again after already being convicted or adjudicated delinquent for the same offense, it would be considered a more serious crime, classified as a gross misdemeanor. This amendment is being proposed to the existing law on theft, specifically focusing on motor vehicle theft under Minnesota Statutes section 609.52.
