LB 785 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Prohibit conduct involving mail receptacle keys and locks with the intent to defraud or deprive another of property

This bill amends Nebraska's criminal code to clarify and expand definitions related to financial fraud. It defines "intent to defraud" (Section 28-618(10)) and prohibits conduct involving financial transaction devices with the purpose of defrauding others or depriving them of property. The key provisions harmonize existing laws and create new prohibitions around unauthorized use of financial devices, including counterfeit or altered devices. The bill title mentioning "mail receptacle keys" appears inconsistent with the actual content, which focuses solely on financial transaction fraud. It directly affects individuals committing financial fraud through devices like credit cards or payment systems.
