DE HB152

Amends § 907 of Title 11 of the Delaware Code to clarify that criminal impersonation applies to impersonating both real and fictitious persons.

Adds language specifying "whether real or fictitious" to the first subsection defining criminal impersonation when a person impersonates another and does an act in an assumed character intending to obtain a benefit or injure/defraud another.

Reverses a 2019 Superior Court ruling (Evans v. State) that had interpreted the law to require proof that only a real, living person was impersonated.

Maintains criminal impersonation as a Class A misdemeanor offense.

Clarifies that criminal impersonation encompasses impersonating representatives of organizations, public servants, or wearing/displaying unauthorized identification or badges of public servants.
