Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:

summary
This bill, submitted by the Criminal Law Advisory Commission, repeals the crime of theft by unauthorized taking or transfer at a casino or slot machine facility since, except for the additional requirement that the theft occur at or from a casino or slot machine facility, the crime is already prohibited by the generic umbrella crime of theft by unauthorized taking or transfer. This bill also repeals a cross-reference to the crime in the laws regarding slot machines.
