AN ACT RELATING TO CRIMINAL OFFENSES -- IMPERSONATION AND IDENTITY FRAUD

Summary

The law makes it a felony for anyone to knowingly produce, transfer, or possess false identification documents, digital fake likenesses, or stolen personal data with the intent to defraud. It applies to individuals, businesses, and other legal entities, but exempts minors under 21 in alcohol‑related situations, law‑enforcement officers acting in official capacity, and activities protected by law. The measure updates Rhode Island’s identity‑theft statutes to address modern digital fraud.
