Summary

The bill adds a new section to the Delaware criminal code that defines gift‑card theft and lists four specific actions that constitute the crime, such as taking a card or its redemption data without permission or using a fraudulent scheme to obtain it. It applies to anyone who handles physical or digital gift cards, including closed‑loop and open‑loop cards, and ties the offense to existing theft penalties. The measure responds to a rise in nationwide gift‑card scams.
