IN RE:	HB2086 by Perez (Relating to creating a criminal offense for interfering with a motor fuel metering device or motor fuel unattended payment terminal and the prosecution of organized criminal activity involving that conduct.), As Engrossed

The bill would create the second degree felony offense of interfering with a motor fuel metering device or motor fuel unattended payment terminal and provide for enhanced punishment when committed while engaging in organized criminal activity.

Creating a new criminal offense may result in an increase in demands upon state and local correctional resources due to a possible increase in the number of individuals placed under supervision in the community or sentenced to a term of confinement.
