Short Summary
This section of the Nebraska Revised Statutes governs the offense of unauthorized use of a financial transaction device. It applies to any person who uses a financial transaction device without authorization. The offense can be committed in various ways, such as obtaining money, credit, property, or services with intent to defraud, using an expired or forged device, or using the device without authorization from the issuer or account holder. The penalties for unauthorized use vary based on the total value involved within a six-month period, ranging from a Class II misdemeanor for amounts less than $500 to a Class IIA felony for amounts of $5,000 or more. Prosecution can take place in any county where the offense was committed or aggregated. Once aggregated and filed, no separate prosecution for offenses arising from the same series of offenses is allowed in any county.
