 1                    AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 1044
 2        AMENDMENT NO.     .  Amend Senate Bill 1044 by  replacing
 3    lines 5 through 31 on page 1 and lines 1 through 16 on page 2
 4    with the following:
 5        "Section  5.  The Electronic Fund Transfer Act is amended
 6    by changing Section 50 and adding Section 52 as follows:
 7        (205 ILCS 616/50)
 8        Sec. 50. Terminal requirements.
 9        (a)  To   assure  maximum  safety  and  security  against
10    malfunction, fraud, theft, and other accidents or abuses  and
11    to assure that all access devices will have the capability of
12    activating  all  terminals  established  in  this  State,  no
13    terminal  shall accept an access device that does not conform
14    to specifications that are generally accepted.  In  the  case
15    of a dispute concerning the specifications, the Commissioner,
16    in  accordance with the provisions of Section 20 of this Act,
17    shall have the authority to determine the specifications.
18        (b)  No terminal that does not accept  an  access  device
19    that  conforms with those specifications shall be established
20    or operated.
21        (c)  A  terminal  shall  bear   a   logotype   or   other
22    identification  symbol  designed  to  advise  customers which
                            -2-            LRB9000621DJcdam01
 1    access devices may activate the terminal.
 2        (d)  When used to perform an interchange  transaction,  a
 3    terminal  shall  not bear any form of proprietary advertising
 4    of  products  and  services  not  offered  at  the  terminal;
 5    provided,  however,  that  a   terminal   screen   may   bear
 6    proprietary  advertising of products or services offered by a
 7    financial institution when a person  uses  an  access  device
 8    issued by that financial institution.
 9        (e)  No  person  operating a terminal in this State shall
10    impose any surcharge on a consumer  for  the  usage  of  that
11    terminal,  whether  or  not  the  consumer is using an access
12    device issued  by  that  person,  unless  that  surcharge  is
13    clearly  disclosed to the consumer both (i) by a sign that is
14    clearly visible to the consumer on or at the  terminal  being
15    used   and   (ii)  electronically  on  the  terminal  screen.
16    Following presentation of the electronic  disclosure  on  the
17    terminal   screen,   the   consumer   shall  be  provided  an
18    opportunity to cancel that transaction without incurring  any
19    surcharge  or other obligation.  If a surcharge is imposed on
20    a consumer using an access device not issued  by  the  person
21    operating  the  terminal,  that  person shall disclose on the
22    sign and on the terminal screen  that  the  surcharge  is  in
23    addition  to  any  fee that may be assessed by the consumer's
24    own institution.  As used  in  this  subsection,  "surcharge"
25    means any charge imposed by the person operating the terminal
26    solely for the use of the terminal.  This subsection does not
27    apply to a point-of-sale purchase transaction at a terminal.
28        (f)  A  receipt  given  at  a  terminal  to  a person who
29    initiates an electronic fund transfer shall include a  number
30    or code that identifies the consumer initiating the transfer,
31    the consumer's account or accounts, or the access device used
32    to initiate the transfer.  If the number or code shown on the
33    receipt  is  a  number that identifies the access device, the
34    number must be truncated as printed on the  receipt  so  that
                            -3-            LRB9000621DJcdam01
 1    fewer  than  all  of  the  digits  of  the number or code are
 2    printed on  the  receipt.   The  Commissioner  may,  however,
 3    modify  or  waive the requirements imposed by this subsection
 4    (f) if the Commissioner determines that the modifications  or
 5    waivers  are  necessary  to  alleviate  any  undue compliance
 6    burden.
 7        (g)  No terminal shall operate in this State unless, with
 8    respect to each  interchange  transaction  initiated  at  the
 9    terminal,   the  access  code  entered  by  the  consumer  to
10    authorize the transaction is encrypted  by  the  device  into
11    which the access code is manually entered by the consumer and
12    is transmitted from the terminal only in encrypted form.  Any
13    terminal   that   cannot   meet   the   foregoing  encryption
14    requirements shall immediately cease  forwarding  information
15    with  respect  to  any  interchange  transaction or attempted
16    interchange transaction.
17        (h)  No person that directly or indirectly provides  data
18    processing  support  to  any  terminal  in  this  State shall
19    authorize  or  forward  for  authorization  any   interchange
20    transaction  unless the access code intended to authorize the
21    interchange transaction is encrypted when  received  by  that
22    person and is encrypted when forwarded to any other person.

24        (205 ILCS 616/52 new)
25        Sec.    52.  Terminal   owners   other   than   financial
26    institutions.  If a person other than a financial institution
27    or other than an affiliate of a financial  institution  owns,
28    in  whole  or  in  part,  any  terminal  within  the State of
29    Illinois  at  which  an  interchange   transaction   may   be
30    performed, then that person shall file with the Commissioner,
31    on forms prescribed by the Commissioner, within 60 days after
32    the later of (i) the effective date of this amendatory Act of
33    1997  or  (ii)  the  establishment  of a terminal at which an
                            -4-            LRB9000621DJcdam01
 1    interchange transaction may be performed, the following:  (1)
 2    the  location  of  each  such  terminal and (2) the financial
 3    institution sponsoring each such terminal into any network or
 4    networks.  The forms shall be  filed  with  the  Commissioner
 5    with  current  information  not less frequently than once per
 6    calendar year.  The Commissioner or  examiners  appointed  by
 7    the  Commissioner  have  the  authority to examine any person
 8    subject to this Section.  The expenses of administering  this
 9    Section and of any such examination shall be assessed against
10    and  borne  by  the  person  owning  the  terminal  or  being
11    examined.  All moneys received by the Commissioner under this
12    Act  shall  be  paid  into,  and all expenses incurred by the
13    Commissioner under this Act shall be paid from, the Bank  and
14    Trust  Company Fund.  The Commissioner, in administering this
15    Section, shall have all of the powers enumerated  in  Section
16    48 of the Illinois Banking Act.".
