Bill > A01370

This bill amends the New York General Business Law to expand the personal information of a credit or debit card holder that is protected from being required or written on a credit or debit card transaction form. The bill adds zip code, email address, and home, cell, and work telephone numbers to the list of protected personal information, unless the information is necessary for shipping, delivery, or installation of purchased merchandise, for processing transactions by mail, or for the detection, investigation, or prevention of fraud, theft, identity theft, criminal activity, or enforcement of terms of sale. The bill also allows a person, firm, or corporation that accepts credit or debit cards to request that a customer voluntarily provide personal identification information, as long as the use of such information is disclosed to the consumer.
