A. No person that accepts payment devices for any purpose shall print on any
receipt provided to the holder of the payment device (i) more than the last four
digits of the payment device number or (ii) the expiration date.

B. For transactions in which the sole means of recording the person&#8217;s
payment device number is by handwriting or by an imprint or copy of the payment
device, no receipt, other than the one original, shall display the information
prohibited in subsection A. Returning all copies, including carbons, that do not
comply with this section, to the payment device holder or authorized user or
destroying such copies and carbons in front of the payment device holder or
authorized user shall constitute compliance with this section.

C. The provisions of this section shall apply to all cash registers or other
machines or devices that electronically print receipts for payment device
transactions that are placed in service on or after July 1, 2003.

D. For all cash registers or other machines or devices that electronically print
receipts for payment device transactions in service prior to July 1, 2003, the
provisions of this subsection shall not apply until July 1, 2005.

E. Any person violating this section (i) shall be liable to the payment device
holder and the issuer for any damages or expenses, or both, including attorney
fees, that the payment device holder incurs due to the use of the payment device
without the permission of the payment device holder and (ii) may be compelled,
in a proceeding instituted in any appropriate court by the attorney for the
Commonwealth, to comply with this section by injunction, mandamus, or other
appropriate remedy. Without limiting the remedies authorized by this section in
a proceeding instituted by the attorney for the Commonwealth, any person
failing, neglecting, or refusing to obey any injunction, mandamus, or other
remedy obtained pursuant to this section, shall be subject, in the discretion of
the court, to a civil penalty not to exceed $1,000 for each violation.
