Bill > S507

This bill aims to enhance safety at automated teller machines (ATMs), which are defined as electronic devices that dispense or accept cash for accounts, excluding those solely for check guarantees, person-to-person cash transactions, or purchasing goods. It mandates specific security measures for different types of ATM facilities: enclosed ATMs must have surveillance cameras, locked entry doors, fire exit bolts, adequate lighting, transparent exterior walls, reflective mirrors, a 20-foot no-parking zone, a dedicated 911 emergency line (with specific installation deadlines for older machines), an emergency PIN feature that alerts law enforcement, and clear signage detailing security advice and emergency contact information. For ATMs open to the outdoor air, similar measures are required, including surveillance, specific lighting standards during darkness, reflective mirrors, a 20-foot no-parking zone, a dedicated 911 line, the emergency PIN feature, and signage. ATMs located in commercial establishments (like supermarkets or restaurants) that are only accessible during regular business hours must also have surveillance cameras, adequate lighting, reflective mirrors, a dedicated 911 line, the emergency PIN feature, and signage. Additionally, financial institutions must provide customers with written safety information when issuing or reissuing ATM cards or codes. The bill also requires the State Police Crime Reporting Unit to collect and publicly share data on ATM-related crimes, and it amends existing law to explicitly include ATM crimes in statutes related to robbery and burglary.
