Use of retail sales receipt or Universal Price Code Label to cheat or defraud. A. Every person who, with intent to cheat or defraud another, designedly, by color or aid of any false token or writing, or other false pretense, obtains the signature of any person to any written instrument, or obtains from any person any money or property is, upon conviction, guilty of a Class D3 felony offense punishable by imprisonment as provided for in subsections B through F of Section 20P of this title if the value is One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) or more, or by a fine not exceeding three times the value of the money or property so obtained, or by both such fine and imprisonment. If the value is less than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), the person is, upon conviction, guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in the county jail for a term not exceeding one (1) year, or by a fine not exceeding three times the value of the money or property so obtained, or by both such fine and imprisonment. B. Every person who, with intent to cheat or defraud another, possesses, uses, utters, transfers, makes, manufactures, counterfeits, or reproduces a retail sales receipt or a Universal Price Code Label is, upon conviction, guilty of a Class D3 felony offense punishable by imprisonment as provided for in subsections B through F of Section 20P of this title if the value is One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) or more, or by a fine not exceeding three times the value represented on the retail sales receipt or the Universal Price Code Label, or by both such fine and imprisonment. If the value is less than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), the person is, upon conviction, guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in the county jail for a term not exceeding one (1) year, or by a fine not exceeding three times the value represented on the retail sales receipt or the Universal Price Code Label, or by both such fine and imprisonment. For purposes of this subsection, a series of offenses may be aggregated into one offense when they are the result of the formulation of a plan or scheme or the setting up of a mechanism which, when put into operation, results in the taking or diversion of money or property on a recurring basis. When all acts result from a continuing course of conduct, they may be aggregated into one crime. Acts forming an integral part of the first taking which facilitate subsequent takings, or acts taken in preparation of several takings which facilitate subsequent takings, are relevant to determine the intent of the party to commit a continuing crime.
