Alaska Bill HB106: New Rules for Organized Theft, Medical Records, and Mail

Last scannedSep 12, 2026, 4:46 AM

In one sentence

This bill creates a new crime called organized theft, makes stealing medical records or information count as second-degree theft, adds mail to the list of items that count as third-degree theft, repeals old rules about small-value theft, and sets an effective date.

What it does

  • Creates a class A felony for people who steal in coordination with a group of three or more persons who have committed or attempted two or more prior violations of specific theft laws.
  • Makes stealing medical records or other medical information count as second-degree theft instead of third-degree theft.
  • Adds mail to the list of property that counts as third-degree theft when stolen, regardless of value.
  • Removes old rules about small-value theft from the law books by repealing specific sections.
  • Sets July 1, 2025, as the date these new laws start working.

Who it affects

  • People who steal property or services in Alaska
  • Groups of three or more people with a history of theft violations acting together
  • Anyone convicted of stealing medical records or mail

Limits and unknowns

  • The bill only applies to crimes committed on or after July 1, 2025.
  • The text does not list specific prison sentences beyond labeling organized theft as a class A felony.
  • The exact definition of 'medical information' relies on existing laws and is not fully explained in this bill.
