  1 10 transactions which do not affect a customer asset account.
  1 11 Except as otherwise provided, a limited-function terminal
  1 12 shall not be subject to the requirements imposed upon other

  2  6 amended to read as follows:
  2  7    12.  a.  If at any time, a limited-function terminal at a
  2  8 location as defined in section 527.4, subsection 3, paragraph
  2  9 "d", is replaced by a device constituting either an on-line or
  2 10 an off-line point-of-sale terminal which may be utilized to
  2 11 initiate transactions which affect customer asset accounts
  2 12 through the use of an electronic personal identifier, or is
  2 13 upgraded, altered, or modified to be operated in a manner to
  2 14 accept which allows the use of an electronic personal
  2 15 identifier or to distinguish between to initiate transactions
  2 16 which affect customer asset accounts and transactions which do
  2 17 not affect customer asset accounts, or an on-line or an off-
  2 18 line point-of-sale terminal which may be utilized to initiate
  2 19 transactions which affect customer asset accounts through the
  2 20 use of an electronic personal identifier is newly established
  2 21 at a location defined in section 527.4, subsection 3,
  2 22 paragraph "d", then such upgraded, altered, or modified
  2 23 limited-function terminal or replacement point-of-sale
  2 24 terminal or such newly established point-of-sale terminal is
  2 25 deemed to be a full-function point-of-sale terminal for
  2 26 purposes of this subsection and all requirements of a
  2 27 satellite terminal in this chapter apply to the full-function
  2 28 point-of-sale terminal with regard to all transactions
  2 29 affecting customer asset accounts which are initiated through
  2 30 the use of an electronic personal identifier, except for
  2 31 section 527.4, subsections 1, 2, and 4, section 527.4,

  2 33 subsections 1, 3, and 7.  A financial institution not eligible
  2 34 to establish satellite terminals within this state, which has
  2 35 established a limited-function terminal which is subsequently
  3  1 upgraded, altered, or modified as contemplated in this
  3  2 subsection, shall enter into an agreement with a financial
  3  3 institution which is authorized to establish a satellite
  3  4 terminal within this state to comply with the requirements of
  3  5 section 527.4 and this subsection.
  3  6    b.  A full-function point-of-sale terminal, as identified
  3  7 in paragraph "a", which is operated in a manner which permits
  3  8 all access devices to be utilized to initiate transactions
  3  9 which affect customer asset accounts, and where all such
  3 10 transactions can be directly routed for authorization purposes
  3 11 as established in this subsection, is also exempt from the
  3 12 provisions of section 527.5, subsection 9.  However, if a data
  3 13 processing center directly connected to such full-function
  3 14 point-of-sale terminal does not authorize or reject a
  3 15 transaction affecting a customer asset account initiated at
  3 16 the terminal through the use of an electronic personal
  3 17 identifier, the transaction shall be immediately transmitted
  3 18 by the data processing center to either of the following:
  3 19    (1)  A central routing unit approved pursuant to this
  3 20 chapter.
  3 21    (2)  An electronic funds transfer processing facility
  3 22 maintained or operated by a national card association and
  3 23 utilized for the processing of transactions initiated through
  3 24 the use of electronic funds transfer transaction cards or
  3 25 access devices depicting a service mark, logo, or trademark
  3 26 associated with the national card association.  However, if
  3 27 the national card association's processing facility is unable
  3 28 to immediately authorize or reject a transaction affecting a
  3 29 customer asset account initiated at that terminal through the
  3 30 use of an access device which bears a service mark, logo, or
  3 31 trademark associated with a central routing unit approved
  3 32 pursuant to this chapter but does not bear a service mark,
  3 33 logo, or trademark associated with a national card
  3 34 association, or which bears a service mark, logo, or trademark
  3 35 other than that associated with either a central routing unit
  4  1 approved pursuant to this chapter or a national card
  4  2 association, the transaction shall be immediately transmitted
  4  3 to a central routing unit approved pursuant to this chapter,
  4  4 whether the transaction initiated through the use of such
  4  5 access device was transmitted to the national card
  4  6 association's processing facility by a data processing center
  4  7 directly connected to the full-function point-of-sale
  4  8 terminal, or the national card association's processing
  4  9 facility received the transmission of transaction data
  4 10 directly from the full-function point-of-sale terminal.
  4 11    c.  If the national card association's electronic funds
  4 12 transfer processing facility directly or indirectly receives a
  4 13 transaction affecting a customer asset account initiated at a
  4 14 full-function point-of-sale terminal through the use of an
  4 15 electronic personal identifier and an access device bearing a
  4 16 service mark, logo, or trademark associated with a national
  4 17 card association, whether or not the access device also bears
  4 18 the service mark, logo, or trademark of an approved central
  4 19 routing unit, and the national card association's processing
  4 20 facility cannot immediately authorize or reject the
  4 21 transaction, such transaction shall be immediately transmitted
  4 22 to a central routing unit approved pursuant to this chapter,
  4 23 or to a financial institution, or its data processing center,
  4 24 which is capable of immediately authorizing or rejecting the
  4 25 transaction.
  4 26    d.  For purposes of this subsection, a national card
  4 27 association must be a membership corporation or organization,
  4 28 wherever incorporated and maintaining a principal place of
  4 29 business, which is engaged in the business of administering
  4 30 for the benefit of the association's members a program
  4 31 involving electronic funds transfer transaction cards or
  4 32 access devices depicting a service mark, logo, or trademark

  5 12 national card association, or such other entities or
  5 13 organizations which are authorized by the national card
  5 14 association's bylaws to participate in the electronic funds
  5 15 transfer transaction card or access device programs or other
  5 16 services and programs sponsored by the national card
  5 17 association.  For purposes of this subsection, a national card
  5 18 association shall not include a financial institution, bank
