SB 5720 - DIGEST

(DIGEST AS ENACTED)

Provides that any provision of a contract between a merchant or retailer and a credit or debit card issuer, financial institution, or other person that prohibits the merchant or retailer from verifying the identity of a customer who offers to pay for goods or services with a credit or debit card by requiring or requesting that the customer present additional identification is void for violation of public policy.

Declares that nothing in this act shall be interpreted as: (1) Compelling merchants or retailers to verify identification; or

(2) Interfering with the ability of the owner or manager of a retail store or chain to make and enforce its own policies regarding verification of identification.
