2003 House Bill 5105 ↩

Senate Roll Call 309: Passed

To make technical changes to statutory definitions of armed robbery, carjacking, and unarmed robbery. The bill would also expand the crime of armed robbery to include a person who, in the course of engaging in the proscribed conduct, represented orally or otherwise that he or she was in possession of a dangerous weapon; and to include the use of force or violence to retain stolen property, or as part of the getaway. Under current law as defined by recent Supreme Court rulings, a robbery ends when the perpetrator receives the stolen property.
