TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 34-11-140 SO AS TO PROHIBIT THE COPYING OF A CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT NUMBER WHEN A CREDIT CARD IS PRESENTED FOR CHECK IDENTIFICATION.
Amend Title To Conform
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The 1976 Code is amended by adding:
"Section 34-11-140. When a person draws, makes, utters, issues, or delivers to another a check, a draft, or other written order on a bank or depository for the payment of money or its equivalent, whether given to obtain money, services, credit, property, or anything of value, he may be required to present a credit card for identification, but the credit card account number must not be copied. However, this section does not prohibit a person from recording a credit card number and expiration date as a condition for cashing or accepting a check where that person has agreed with the card issuer to cash or accept the checks as a service to the issuer's cardholders and the issuer guarantees cardholder checks cashed or accepted by that person. A person who violates the provisions of this section must be fined not more than two hundred dollars or imprisoned for not more than thirty days, or both."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
