Illinois Insurance State Practice Exam

The classification of theft when a Producer steals amounts exceeding $150.00 falls under a Class 3 or 4 Felony in the state of Illinois. This classification signifies the severity of the crime and outlines the legal penalties associated with it. Theft offenses are categorized based on the value of the property involved, and in this case, amounts exceeding $150.00 necessitate a more serious classification than lesser amounts, which could involve only misdemeanors.

In Illinois, a Class 3 Felony is applicable for theft of amounts between $500.00 to $10,000. Theft amounts over $150.00 can potentially lead to a Class 4 Felony if they do not exceed the specific threshold of $500.00, thereby covering a range of scenarios surrounding theft. The specific threshold and classification help in assessing not only the level of punishment but also the legal framework for addressing the crime.

Understanding these classifications is important for producers and insurance professionals alike, as they navigate the legal implications of theft and the associated fines and potential imprisonment.
