The charges for the first time offense of UNDER $ 150 retail theft in Illinois is Class A misdemeanor. The second time Class 4 Felony. Over $150 for a retail theft is a class 4 felony, even for the first time. However, if the theft is not from a retail store, then under $300 is still a misdemeanor. Over $300 it becomes a felony.

However: The terminology "felony petty theft" in an oxymoron. If it is Petty (Petit) Theft, by definition, it would be a misdemeanor offense, NOT a felony, and punishable by jail not to exceed one year.
