PENALTY FOR THEFT OF ANHYDROUS AMMONIA

Ammonia theft to become felony

H.B. 536 introduced by Rep. John Schlichter (R), Washington C.H., OH will make the theft of anhydrous ammonia a felony of the third degree. Thanks to Greg Garman, Southwest Landmark for arranging a meeting with OABA staff and Rep. Schlichter to discuss the bill and what industry is doing to combat ammonia theft.

The bill in its self may not go along way to stop theft, but it does give law enforcement and the courts a bigger stick to use in punishing offenders.
