Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Criminal Code of 1961 in relation to theft by a lessee. Provides that the trier of fact may infer evidence (rather than that it is prima facie evidence) that a person intends to deprive the owner permanently of the use or benefit of the property (rather than "knowingly obtains or exerts unauthorized control over property of the owner") (1) if a lessee of the personal property of another fails to return it to the owner within 5 (rather than 10) days after written demand from the owner for its return or (2) if a lessee of the personal property of another fails to return it to the owner within 24 hours after written demand from the owner for its return and the lessee had presented identification to the owner that contained a materially fictitious name, address, or telephone number.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 1
Provides that the trier of fact may infer evidence that a person intends to deprive the owner permanently of the use or benefit of the property if the lessee of the personal property of another fails to return it to the owner within 10 (rather than 5) days after written demand from the owner for its return.
