Bill > HB465

This bill amends Title 11 of the Delaware Code to include "virtual currency" in various legal definitions. Virtual currency is defined as a digital representation of value used as a medium of exchange, unit of account, or store of value, but it excludes certain rewards programs and in-game digital items. The bill clarifies that virtual currency is considered "property" for the purposes of theft and related offenses, and it is also included within the definition of "funds" for money laundering statutes. Furthermore, it expands the definition of "pecuniary value" and "personal property" to encompass virtual currency, and explicitly states that virtual currency can be subject to search and seizure, and its disposition after seizure will be handled according to court directives, similar to other seized property.
