Felony penalties for repeat service theft

Beginning May 6, 2026, Utah classifies qualifying repeat theft of services as a third-degree felony. This rule excludes public transportation. It applies to people with a prior felony conviction for a listed theft, robbery, burglary, or fraud offense. Equivalent offenses from other jurisdictions also count. The prior offense must have occurred within 10 years before the current conviction or the offense behind that conviction. Other statutory offense-level rules and exceptions still apply.

Retail theft covers keeping unpaid goods

Beginning May 6, 2026, Utah's retail-theft rule covers knowingly taking, hiding, carrying away, or transferring store goods. The person must intend to keep the goods without paying their retail value. Causing someone else to carry away or transfer the goods is also covered. The rule applies to merchandise displayed, held, stored, or offered for sale at a retail store.
