AN ACT

To repeal section 570.130, RSMo, relating to fraudulent use of a credit device or a debit device, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to the same subject, with penalty provisions.


Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Missouri, as follows:

Section A. Section 570.130, RSMo, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 570.130, to read as follows:

570.130. 1. A person commits the crime of fraudulent use of a credit device or debit device if the person uses a credit device or debit device for the purpose of obtaining services or property, knowing that:

(1) The device is stolen, fictitious or forged; or

(2) The device has been revoked or canceled; or

(3) For any other reason his use of the device is unauthorized; or

(4) Uses a credit device or debit device for the purpose of paying property taxes and knowingly cancels said charges or payment without just cause. It shall be prima facie evidence of a violation of this section if a person cancels said charges or payment after obtaining a property tax receipt to obtain license tags from the Missouri department of revenue.

2. Fraudulent use of a credit device or debit device is a class A misdemeanor unless the value of the property tax or the value of the property or services obtained or sought to be obtained within any thirty-day period is one hundred fifty dollars or more, in which case fraudulent use of a credit device or debit device is a class D felony.
