AN ACT relating to theft by deception.

Summary

The bill broadens the definition of theft by deception to include creating false impressions, hiding information, and issuing checks that will not be honored. It adds specific offenses for using bad checks to pay taxes or child support and sets a sliding scale of misdemeanors and felonies depending on the value and repeat offenses. The changes give prosecutors clearer tools to combat fraud.
