Requires account numbers to be truncated on certain sales receipts.
This New Jersey bill (S 1924) requires retail businesses to truncate credit and debit card account numbers on all sales receipts - both given to customers and kept by merchants - to show only the last five digits. It updates existing law to explicitly cover debit cards (previously only credit cards) and applies to electronically printed receipts, excluding handwritten or physical card imprints. Violations carry a $1,000 civil penalty. The law affects all retail stores, restaurants, and service providers processing card payments in New Jersey.
