Establishes new offenses concerning unlawful possession and use of credit card scanners.

This New Jersey bill (A757) creates new criminal offenses for possessing or using credit card scanners without a lawful purpose. It defines a credit card scanner as any device that reads, records, or transmits card information. Possessing one without a valid reason (like for legitimate business use) is a disorderly persons offense punishable by up to $1,000 or 6 months in jail. Using a scanner for illegal activities, such as skimming cards for fraud, is a second-degree crime punishable by up to $150,000 or 5-10 years in prison. The law directly affects individuals or businesses using such devices unlawfully, targeting fraud prevention without altering existing credit card fraud penalties.
