Establishes crime of selling certain counterfeit items; establishes enhanced penalties for crime if committed against senior citizen.
This bill creates a new third-degree crime for intentionally deceiving people about gold, silver, or precious metal items. It specifically targets sellers who falsely claim coins or bullion contain precious metals, use fake grading service packaging, or alter items to appear more valuable. Victims of these crimes would receive triple damages, and if the victim is a senior citizen (62+), the defendant faces mandatory prison time (one-third to one-half of the sentence or one year minimum, with no parole). The law applies to violations of existing theft or forgery statutes when involving these deceptive practices.
