lol is this real?
Probably. California increased the threshold for theft to something like that a year or so ago - that's an oversimplification, but the outcome is the same (You can guess what happened immediately after). NY is 2nd behind Cali for those kinds of policies.
I mean it obviously makes sense that all laws that list dollar amounts should be anchored to inflation so the logic of the law rewrite is sound it just shouldn’t be something that should be said for obvious PR issues. There’s thousands of laws from ten plus years ago that have a dollar amount listed. All that made sense at the time all are out of scale with the reality of today thanks to inflation.
