users to take their receipt and to protect their personal
identification number; requires that receipts given at

printed on the receipt. Amends the Illinois Credit Card and

making a false written statement for the purpose of procuring
a card; receiving another person's card with intent to use it
without the cardholder's consent; and other offenses),
increases the penalty from a Class A or B misdemeanor to a
Class 4 felony. When a greater penalty is provided for an
offense (for example, for committing, within a 12-month
period, an offense with respect to 3 or more cards each
issued to different cardholders other than the offender),
increases the greater penalty from a Class A misdemeanor or
Class 4 felony to a Class 3 felony.
