A person is guilty of a misdemeanor if, believing that an official proceeding has been or is about to be instituted, he destroys, conceals or removes any record, document or thing with intent to impair its availability in the proceeding. SOURCE: G.P.C. § 135: See also § 115a; M.P.C. 241.7; *Cal. § 1104 (T.D. 3, 1969); Cal. § 1144 (1971); Mass. ch. 268, § 6; N.J. § 2C:28-6.
