AN ACT relating to theft by deception.

January 8, 2026

Summary

If enacted, this bill would create a presumption that a person who lists or advertises residential or commercial real property for sale, lease, or rent without legal title or authority creates a false impression under Kentucky's theft by deception statute. This would primarily affect real estate brokers, agents, and any entity marketing property they do not own or have authority to sell, potentially exposing them to criminal liability for theft by deception.
