Prohibits retail mercantile establishments from requiring certain consumer identification for return of merchandise.

This New Jersey bill (S 402) prohibits retail stores from requiring customers to show state or federal ID (like driver's licenses) to return merchandise, except when a customer lacks a receipt. Stores must not scan, copy, or keep copies of any ID provided under this exception. If stores require ID for returns without a receipt, they must post clear signs near cash registers or store entrances. Violations carry fines starting at $250 for the first offense.
