AN ACT relating to smash and grab burglary.

This bill would create a new criminal offense in Kentucky specifically called "smash and grab burglary," adding it to the state's existing laws on burglary. It establishes this type of theft — typically involving breaking into a display case or storefront to quickly steal merchandise — as its own distinct crime under state law. Who it may affect: retail business owners and their employees, and individuals charged under the new offense.
