Bill > H478

This bill establishes uniform safeguards and public protections for consumers conducting bank transactions at automated teller machines (ATMs). Key provisions include requiring adequate lighting, surveillance cameras, locking entry doors, reflective mirrors, and emergency telephones at ATM facilities. The bill also creates a special commission to study the technological feasibility of limited access entry doors, requires banks to file reports on their ATM facilities, and sets civil penalties for violations. Additionally, banks must provide consumers with written safety information when issuing ATM access cards or codes. The division of banks is authorized to enforce these requirements, and crime statistics associated with ATM use will be made available to banks and the public.
