Many, if not most states have something similar. Here is Vermont's:

The thing that I love about this, is that the damages are set so low; $500 is the misdemeanor/felony trigger. My charges to come in just to check over a network will probably exceed $500, assumming it takes the better part of a day. (And I'm pretty reasonable in comparison to other consultants around here.) Counting the time of an in-house IT staff is probably going to be even higher.

So automatically, most places will jump right into felony territory, just to have the any alleged damage assessed.
