Amends the Electronic Fund Transfer Act. Requires that
terminals display a notice of charges and a notice reminding
users to take their receipt and to protect their personal
identification number; requires that receipts given at
terminals partially obscure the user's account number that is
printed on the receipt. Amends the Illinois Credit Card and
Debit Card Act. With respect to certain offenses (including:
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.

7 (205 ILCS 616/30)
8 Sec. 30. Acceptance of deposits.
9 (A) No terminal that accepts deposits of funds to an
10 account may be established or owned in this State except by
11 (a) a bank established under the laws of this or any other
12 state or established under the laws of the United States that
13 (1) is authorized by law to establish a branch in this State
14 or (2) is permitted by rule of the Commissioner to establish
15 deposit-taking terminals in this State in order to maintain
16 parity between national banks and banks established under the
17 laws of this or any other state, (b) a savings and loan
18 association or savings bank established under the laws of
19 this or any other state or established under the laws of the
20 United States, (c) a credit union established under the laws
21 of this or any other state or established under the laws of
22 the United States, or (d) a licensee under the Consumer
23 Installment Loan Act or the Sales Finance Agency Act.
24 (B) A person other than a financial institution or an
25 affiliate of a financial institution may establish or own, in
26 whole or in part, a cash-dispensing terminal at which an
27 interchange transaction may be performed, provided that the
28 terminal does not accept deposits of funds to an account, and
29 provided that the person establishing or owning the terminal
30 shall file a notice of establishment or ownership of a
31 terminal with the Commissioner, in the form prescribed by the
SB1044 Enrolled -2- LRB9000621DJcd
1 Commissioner, within 60 days after the later of (a) the
2 effective day of this amendatory Act of 1997 or (b) the
3 establishment of or acquisition of an ownership interest in
4 the terminal. Persons who own a terminal pursuant to this
5 subsection (B) shall thereafter file with the Commissioner a
6 full and accurate statement of information of ownership, in
7 the form prescribed by the Commissioner, once per calendar
8 year. A person who has established or owns a terminal
9 pursuant to this subsection (B) shall not be required to file
10 subsequent notices of establishment or ownership of a
11 terminal when establishing or acquiring an ownership interest
12 in additional terminals provided the person includes the
13 information required by the Commissioner for those terminals
14 in the person's annual filing pursuant to this subsection
15 (B). The Commissioner or examiners appointed by the
16 Commissioner shall have the authority to examine any person
17 that has established or owns a terminal in this State
18 pursuant to this subsection (B) if the Commissioner has
19 received multiple complaints regarding one or more terminals
20 owned by the person, and in the event of such an examination,
21 the person shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses of the
22 examination as determined by the Commissioner. The

30 from, the Bank and Trust Company Fund.

6 Sec. 50. Terminal requirements.
7 (a) To assure maximum safety and security against
8 malfunction, fraud, theft, and other accidents or abuses and
9 to assure that all access devices will have the capability of
10 activating all terminals established in this State, no
11 terminal shall accept an access device that does not conform
12 to specifications that are generally accepted. In the case
13 of a dispute concerning the specifications, the Commissioner,
14 in accordance with the provisions of Section 20 of this Act,
15 shall have the authority to determine the specifications.
16 (b) No terminal that does not accept an access device
17 that conforms with those specifications shall be established
18 or operated.
19 (c) A terminal shall bear a logotype or other
20 identification symbol designed to advise customers which
21 access devices may activate the terminal.
22 (d) When used to perform an interchange transaction, a
23 terminal shall not bear any form of proprietary advertising
24 of products and services not offered at the terminal;
25 provided, however, that a terminal screen may bear
26 proprietary advertising of products or services offered by a
27 financial institution when a person uses an access device
28 issued by that financial institution.
29 (e) No person operating a terminal in this State shall
30 impose any surcharge on a consumer for the usage of that
31 terminal, whether or not the consumer is using an access
32 device issued by that person, unless that surcharge is
33 clearly disclosed to the consumer both (i) by a sign that is
SB1044 Enrolled -4- LRB9000621DJcd
1 clearly visible to the consumer on or at the terminal being
2 used and (ii) electronically on the terminal screen.
3 Following presentation of the electronic disclosure on the
4 terminal screen, the consumer shall be provided an
5 opportunity to cancel that transaction without incurring any
6 surcharge or other obligation. If a surcharge is imposed on
7 a consumer using an access device not issued by the person
8 operating the terminal, that person shall disclose on the
9 sign and on the terminal screen that the surcharge is in
10 addition to any fee that may be assessed by the consumer's
11 own institution. As used in this subsection, "surcharge"
12 means any charge imposed by the person operating the terminal
13 solely for the use of the terminal. This subsection does not
14 apply to a point-of-sale purchase transaction at a terminal.
15 (f) A receipt given at a terminal to a person who
16 initiates an electronic fund transfer shall include a number
17 or code that identifies the consumer initiating the transfer,
18 the consumer's account or accounts, or the access device used
19 to initiate the transfer. If the number or code shown on the
20 receipt is a number that identifies the access device, the
21 number must be truncated as printed on the receipt so that
22 fewer than all of the digits of the number or code are
23 printed on the receipt. The Commissioner may, however,
24 modify or waive the requirements imposed by this subsection
25 (f) if the Commissioner determines that the modifications or
26 waivers are necessary to alleviate any undue compliance
27 burden.
28 (g) No terminal shall operate in this State unless, with
29 respect to each interchange transaction initiated at the
30 terminal, the access code entered by the consumer to
31 authorize the transaction is encrypted by the device into
32 which the access code is manually entered by the consumer and
33 is transmitted from the terminal only in encrypted form. Any
34 terminal that cannot meet the foregoing encryption
SB1044 Enrolled -5- LRB9000621DJcd
1 requirements shall immediately cease forwarding information
2 with respect to any interchange transaction or attempted
3 interchange transaction.
4 (h) No person that directly or indirectly provides data
5 processing support to any terminal in this State shall
6 authorize or forward for authorization any interchange
7 transaction unless the access code intended to authorize the
8 interchange transaction is encrypted when received by that
9 person and is encrypted when forwarded to any other person.
