The purpose of this legislation is to enhance the penalties for mail theft in the United States. The main objective is to deter individuals from committing this crime by increasing the maximum prison sentence that can be imposed for those found guilty of stealing mail. The key provision of this law is the amendment to the existing law regarding mail theft. It specifically changes the maximum penalty for mail theft from five years in prison to ten years. This change aims to reflect the seriousness of the crime and to provide a stronger legal framework for prosecuting offenders.
