US Laws, Codes, Statutes & Cases

      (a)      In making an averment as to an instrument, whether the instrument consists wholly or partly of writing, print, or figures, a charging document may describe the instrument by its usual name or designation or by its purport, without setting out a copy of the instrument or part of the instrument.

      (b)      (1)      This subsection applies to a charging document for:

                  (i)      counterfeiting, issuing, disposing of, altering, stealing, embezzling, destroying, or passing any kind of instrument; or

                  (ii)      theft by the obtaining of property by false pretenses.

            (2)      A charging document is sufficient if the charging document alleges that the defendant acted with the intent to defraud, without alleging the intent of the defendant to defraud any particular person.
