Perfected

SB 658 - Under current law, crimes are prosecuted in the county in which they occurred or any element of the offense occurred. Identity theft can also be prosecuted in the county in which the victim resides or the property obtained, or attempted to be obtained, was located.

This act provides that any offense of Chapter 570, which includes robbery, stealing, and other similar offenses, may also be prosecuted in the county in which the victim resides or conducts business or the property obtained, or attempted to be obtained, was located.

This act is identical to SB 561 (2015).
