Requires account numbers to be truncated on certain sales receipts.
This bill requires retailers in New Jersey to truncate credit and debit card account numbers on all electronic sales receipts - showing only the last five digits instead of the full number. It applies to both receipts given to customers and copies kept by merchants, extending existing rules (which previously covered only credit cards) to include debit cards. Violations carry a civil penalty of up to $1,000, enforceable through summary proceedings. The law aims to protect consumer financial data by limiting exposure of card numbers on receipts.
