1 | AN ACT concerning regulation.
| |||||||||||||||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| |||||||||||||||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| |||||||||||||||||||
4 | Section 5. The Electronic Fund Transfer Act is amended by | |||||||||||||||||||
5 | changing Section 50 as follows:
| |||||||||||||||||||
6 | (205 ILCS 616/50)
| |||||||||||||||||||
7 | Sec. 50. Terminal requirements.
| |||||||||||||||||||
8 | (a) To assure maximum safety and security against
| |||||||||||||||||||
9 | malfunction, fraud, theft, and other accidents or abuses and to | |||||||||||||||||||
10 | assure that all
access devices will have the capability of | |||||||||||||||||||
11 | activating all terminals established
in this State, no terminal | |||||||||||||||||||
12 | shall accept an access device
that does not conform to | |||||||||||||||||||
13 | specifications that are generally accepted. In the
case of a | |||||||||||||||||||
14 | dispute concerning the specifications, the Commissioner, in
| |||||||||||||||||||
15 | accordance with the provisions of Section 20 of this Act, shall | |||||||||||||||||||
16 | have the
authority to determine the specifications.
| |||||||||||||||||||
17 | (b) No terminal that does not accept an
access device that | |||||||||||||||||||
18 | conforms with those specifications shall be established or
| |||||||||||||||||||
19 | operated.
| |||||||||||||||||||
20 | (c) A terminal shall bear a logotype or other | |||||||||||||||||||
21 | identification
symbol designed to advise customers which | |||||||||||||||||||
22 | access devices may activate the
terminal.
| |||||||||||||||||||
23 | (d) When used to perform an interchange transaction, a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | terminal shall not
bear any form of proprietary advertising of | ||||||
2 | products and services not offered
at the terminal; provided, | ||||||
3 | however, that a terminal screen may bear proprietary
| ||||||
4 | advertising of products or services offered by a financial | ||||||
5 | institution when a
person uses an access device issued by that | ||||||
6 | financial institution.
| ||||||
7 | (e) No person operating a terminal in this State shall | ||||||
8 | impose any
surcharge on a consumer for the usage of that | ||||||
9 | terminal, whether or not the
consumer is using an access device | ||||||
10 | issued by that person, unless that surcharge
is clearly | ||||||
11 | disclosed to the consumer both (i) by a sign that is clearly | ||||||
12 | visible
to the consumer on or at the terminal being used and | ||||||
13 | (ii) electronically on the
terminal screen. Following | ||||||
14 | presentation of the electronic disclosure on the
terminal | ||||||
15 | screen, the consumer shall be provided an opportunity to cancel | ||||||
16 | that
transaction without incurring any surcharge or other | ||||||
17 | obligation. If a
surcharge is imposed on a consumer using an | ||||||
18 | access device not issued by the
person operating the terminal, | ||||||
19 | that person shall disclose on the sign and on
the terminal | ||||||
20 | screen that the surcharge is in addition to any fee that may
be | ||||||
21 | assessed by the consumer's own institution. As used in this | ||||||
22 | subsection,
"surcharge" means any charge imposed by the person | ||||||
23 | operating the terminal
solely for the use of the terminal.
| ||||||
24 | (f) A receipt given at a terminal to a person who initiates | ||||||
25 | an electronic
fund transfer shall include a number or code that | ||||||
26 | identifies the consumer
initiating the transfer, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | consumer's account or accounts, or the access
device used to | ||||||
2 | initiate the transfer. If the number or code shown on the
| ||||||
3 | receipt is a number that identifies the access device, the | ||||||
4 | number must be
truncated as printed on the receipt so that | ||||||
5 | fewer than all of the digits of the
number or code are printed | ||||||
6 | on the receipt. The
Commissioner may, however, modify or waive | ||||||
7 | the requirements imposed by this
subsection
(f) if the | ||||||
8 | Commissioner determines that the modifications or waivers are
| ||||||
9 | necessary to alleviate any undue compliance burden.
| ||||||
10 | (g) No terminal shall operate in this State unless, with | ||||||
11 | respect to each
interchange transaction initiated at the | ||||||
12 | terminal, the access code entered by
the consumer to authorize | ||||||
13 | the transaction is encrypted by the device into
which the | ||||||
14 | access code is manually entered by the consumer and is | ||||||
15 | transmitted
from the terminal
only in encrypted form. Any | ||||||
16 | terminal that cannot meet the foregoing encryption
| ||||||
17 | requirements shall immediately cease forwarding information | ||||||
18 | with respect to any
interchange transaction or attempted | ||||||
19 | interchange transaction.
| ||||||
20 | (h) No person that directly or indirectly provides data | ||||||
21 | processing support
to
any terminal in this State shall | ||||||
22 | authorize or forward for authorization any
interchange | ||||||
23 | transaction unless the access code intended to authorize the
| ||||||
24 | interchange transaction is encrypted when received by that | ||||||
25 | person and is
encrypted when forwarded to any other person.
| ||||||
26 | (i) A terminal operated in this State may be designed and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | programmed so
that when a consumer enters his or her personal | ||||||
2 | identification number in
reverse order, the terminal | ||||||
3 | automatically sends an alarm to the local law
enforcement | ||||||
4 | agency having jurisdiction over the terminal location. The
| ||||||
5 | Commissioner
shall promulgate rules necessary for the | ||||||
6 | implementation of this subsection (i). The provisions of this | ||||||
7 | subsection (i) shall not be construed to require an owner or | ||||||
8 | operator of a terminal to design and program the terminal to | ||||||
9 | accept a personal identification number in reverse order.
| ||||||
10 | (j) A person operating a terminal in this State may not | ||||||
11 | impose a
fee upon
a
consumer for usage of the terminal if the | ||||||
12 | consumer is using a Link Card or
other access device issued by | ||||||
13 | a government agency for use in obtaining
financial aid under | ||||||
14 | the Illinois Public Aid Code.
| ||||||
15 | For the purpose of this subsection (j), the term "person
| ||||||
16 | operating a
terminal" means the person who has control over and | ||||||
17 | is responsible for a
terminal. The term "person operating a | ||||||
18 | terminal" does not mean the person who
owns or controls the | ||||||
19 | property or building in which a terminal is located,
unless he | ||||||
20 | or she also has control over and is responsible for the | ||||||
21 | terminal.
