Crimes concerning gift cards.

SB 190, titled "Crimes concerning gift cards," establishes two new offenses: gift card theft (a Class A misdemeanor) and gift card fraud (a Level 6 felony). It directly affects individuals who steal physical gift cards or fraudulently use stolen or counterfeit cards without authorization. The bill defines theft as taking a gift card without permission and fraud as intentionally using a stolen or counterfeit card to obtain goods or services. If passed, these provisions would create specific criminal penalties for these acts, with theft punishable by up to one year in jail and fraud by up to two years. The bill is currently in committee review after its introduction on January 6, 2026.
