1 12 EXPLANATION
1 13 This bill provides that a person commits the crime of theft
1 14 if the person makes, utters, draws, delivers, or gives such
1 15 check, share draft, draft, or written order to a person for
1 16 the purpose of satisfying a preexisting obligation, if the
1 17 person knows that such check, share draft, draft, or written
1 18 order will not be paid when presented. Currently, to be
1 19 classified as theft, such instrument must be used with the
1 20 intent to defraud, secure money, credit, or other thing of
1 21 value at the time the instrument is written, with the
1 22 knowledge that sufficient funds are not available to satisfy
1 23 such instrument. The penalty applicable would vary depending
1 24 on the amount of money or value of property involved.
