Committee hears bill to increase penalties for large‑scale grain theft, setting a 400‑bushel threshold House Bill 2422 would make theft of at least 400 bushels of grain a severity level 6 nonperson felony; proponents told the Committee on Judiciary that a volume threshold (rather than a dollar amount) better captures typical theft patterns in rural Kansas and would give prosecutors greater charging flexibility.
