This statute makes it illegal to forge a document—meaning to fake, alter, or create a false writing with intent to deceive or harm someone. This includes altering someone else's signature, changing dates on documents, creating fake copies of originals, or possessing forged documents intending to use them. A conviction is a Class E felony punishable by 1-6 years in prison and/or a fine up to $3,000. The penalty depends on the value involved, similar to theft charges.
