Senate Bill 1092
Explanation: CAPITALS INDICATE MATTER ADDED TO EXISTING LAW. [Brackets] indicate matter deleted from existing law.
Introduced by Senator Jennings on February 16, 2017 and assigned to Rules.
An Act concerning Public Assistance Fraud Prevention Act
This bill requires each newly issued or reissued electronic benefits transfer card to have a photograph of the recipient, with some exceptions. If an individual is 60 or older, disabled, blind, a minor child, a victim of domestic violence, or unable to provide a photo due to hardship, the card will have a written statement instead of a photo.
The Family Investment Administration must create procedures for issuing and using these cards. Establishments that accept these cards cannot ask for a cardholder's photo unless they ask all other customers to show photographic ID.
Effective Date:
October 1, 2017
