TITLE 18--CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART I--CRIMES
CHAPTER 43--FALSE PERSONATION

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 742; Pub. L. 103-322, title XXXIII,
Sec. 330016(1)(H), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on subsection (a), paragraph (18) and subsection (d), of
section 746, title 8, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Aliens and Nationality (Oct. 14,
1940, ch. 876, Sec. 346(a), par. (18), and (d), 54 Stat. 1165, 1167).
Section consolidates said provisions of section 746, title 8,
U.S.C., 1940 ed., Aliens and Nationality. The word ``willfully'' was
substituted for ``knowingly'', ``$1,000'' for ``$5,000'', and ``three
years'' for ``five years'', to harmonize with congressional intent
evidenced by the other sections of this chapter.
Minor changes were made in phraseology and unnecessary words were
omitted.
Amendments
1994--Pub. L. 103-322 substituted ``fined under this title'' for
``fined not more than $1,000''.
