A bill for an act relating to fraudulent practices involving academic credentials or professional or occupational licenses, and making penalties applicable.

Summary

The bill creates a new subsection that makes it a crime to knowingly lie about having a degree to get a job or other personal benefit. It classifies that false‑credential claim as a fifth‑degree fraudulent practice, which is punishable under existing fraud penalties. The change targets individuals who misrepresent academic qualifications.
