  1  2 amended to read as follows:
  1  3    10.  "Limited-function terminal" means an on-line point-of-

  1  6 paragraph "d", or a multiple use terminal, which is not
  1  7 operated in a manner to accept an electronic personal
  1  8 identifier, and which is not operated to distinguish between
  1  9 transactions which affect a customer asset account and
  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
  1 13 satellite terminals pursuant to sections 527.4 and 527.5,
  1 14 subsections 1, 2, 3, 7, and 9.
  1 15    Sec. 2.  Section 527.3, Code 1995, is amended by adding the
  1 16 following new subsection:
  1 17    NEW SUBSECTION.  8.  An administrator may issue any order
  1 18 necessary to secure compliance with or prevent a violation of
  1 19 this chapter or the rules adopted pursuant to this chapter,
  1 20 regarding the establishment and operation of a satellite
  1 21 terminal, limited-function terminal, upgraded, altered,
  1 22 modified, or replaced limited-function terminal, and any other
  1 23 device or facility with which such terminal is interconnected.
  1 24 A person who violates a provision of this chapter or any rule
  1 25 or any order issued pursuant to this chapter is subject to a
  1 26 civil penalty not to exceed one thousand dollars for each day
  1 27 the violation continues.  A person aggrieved by an order of an
  1 28 administrator may appeal the order by filing a written notice
  1 29 of appeal with the administrator within thirty days of the
  1 30 issuance of the order.  The administrator shall schedule a
  1 31 hearing for the purpose of hearing the arguments of the
  1 32 aggrieved person within thirty days of the filing of the
  1 33 notice of appeal.  The provisions of chapter 17A shall apply
  1 34 to all matters related to the appeal.  The attorney general,
  1 35 on request of the administrator, shall institute any legal
  2  1 proceedings necessary to obtain compliance with an order of
  2  2 the administrator or to prosecute a person for a violation of
  2  3 the provisions of this chapter or rules adopted pursuant to
  2  4 this chapter.
  2  5    Sec. 3.  Section 527.5, subsections 5 and 12, Code 1995,

  2  7    5.  A satellite terminal in this state shall bear a sign or
  2  8 label identifying each type of financial institution utilizing
  2  9 the terminal.  A satellite terminal location in this state
  2 10 shall not be used to advertise individual financial
  2 11 institutions or a group of financial institutions.  However, a
  2 12 satellite terminal shall bear a sign or label no larger than
  2 13 three inches by two inches identifying the name, address, and
  2 14 telephone number of the owner of the satellite terminal.  The
  2 15 administrator may authorize methods of identification the
  2 16 administrator deems necessary to enable the general public to
  2 17 determine the accessibility of a satellite terminal.
  2 18    12.  a.  If at any time, a limited-function terminal at a
  2 19 location as defined in section 527.4, subsection 3, paragraph
  2 20 "d", is replaced by a device constituting either an on-line or
  2 21 an off-line point-of-sale terminal which may be utilized to
  2 22 initiate transactions which affect customer asset accounts
  2 23 through the use of an electronic personal identifier, or is
  2 24 upgraded, altered, or modified to be operated in a manner to
  2 25 accept which allows the use of an electronic personal
  2 26 identifier or to distinguish between to initiate transactions
  2 27 which affect customer asset accounts and transactions which do
  2 28 not affect customer asset accounts, then such upgraded,
  2 29 altered, or modified limited-function terminal or replacement
  2 30 point-of-sale terminal is deemed to be a full-function point-
  2 31 of-sale terminal for purposes of this subsection and all
  2 32 requirements of a satellite terminal in this chapter apply to
  2 33 the full-function point-of-sale terminal with regard to all
  2 34 transactions affecting customer asset accounts which are
  2 35 initiated through the use of an electronic personal
  3  1 identifier, except for section 527.4, subsections 1, 2, and 4,
  3  2 section 527.4, subsection 3, paragraphs "a", "b", and "c", and
  3  3 section 527.5, subsections 1, 3, and 7.  A financial
  3  4 institution not eligible to establish satellite terminals
  3  5 within this state, which has established a limited-function
  3  6 terminal which is subsequently upgraded, altered, or modified
  3  7 as contemplated in this subsection, shall enter into an
  3  8 agreement with a financial institution which is authorized to
  3  9 establish a satellite terminal within this state to comply
  3 10 with the requirements of section 527.4 and this subsection.
  3 11    b.  A full-function point-of-sale terminal, as identified
  3 12 in paragraph "a", which is operated in a manner which permits
  3 13 all access devices to be utilized to initiate transactions
  3 14 which affect customer asset accounts, and where all such
  3 15 transactions can be directly routed for authorization purposes
  3 16 as established in this subsection, is also exempt from the
  3 17 provisions of section 527.5, subsection 9.  However, if a data
  3 18 processing center is directly connected to such full-function
  3 19 point-of-sale terminal and does not authorize or reject a
  3 20 transaction affecting a customer asset account initiated at
  3 21 the terminal through the use of an electronic personal
  3 22 identifier, the transaction shall be immediately transmitted
  3 23 by the data processing center to either of the following:
  3 24    (1)  A central routing unit approved pursuant to this
  3 25 chapter.
  3 26    (2)  An electronic funds transfer facility owned or
  3 27 operated by a national card association which is engaged in
  3 28 the business of administering for the benefit of the
  3 29 association's members a program involving electronic funds
  3 30 transfer transaction cards or access devices depicting a
  3 31 service mark, logo, or trademark associated with the national
  3 32 card association.  However, if the national card association
  3 33 is unable to immediately authorize or reject a transaction
  3 34 affecting a customer asset account initiated at that terminal
  3 35 through the use of an access device which bears a service
  4  1 mark, logo, or trademark associated with a central routing
  4  2 unit approved pursuant to this chapter but does not bear a
  4  3 service mark, logo, or trademark associated with a national
  4  4 card association, or which bears a service mark, logo, or
  4  5 trademark other than that associated with either a central
  4  6 routing unit approved pursuant to this chapter or a national
  4  7 card association, the transaction shall be immediately
  4  8 transmitted to a central routing unit approved pursuant to
  4  9 this chapter, whether the transaction initiated through the
  4 10 use of such access device was transmitted to the national card
  4 11 association by a data processing center directly connected to
  4 12 the full-function point-of-sale terminal, or the national card
  4 13 association received the transmission of transaction data
  4 14 directly from the full-function point-of-sale terminal.
  4 15    c.  If the national card association's electronic funds
  4 16 transfer facility directly or indirectly receives a
  4 17 transaction affecting a customer asset account initiated at a
  4 18 full-function point-of-sale terminal through the use of an
  4 19 electronic personal identifier and an access device bearing a
  4 20 service mark, logo, or trademark associated with a national
  4 21 card association, whether or not the access device also bears
  4 22 the service mark, logo, or trademark of an approved central
  4 23 routing unit, and the national card association cannot
  4 24 immediately authorize or reject the transaction, such
  4 25 transaction shall be immediately transmitted to a central
  4 26 routing unit approved pursuant to this chapter, or to a
  4 27 financial institution, or its data processing center, which is
  4 28 capable of immediately authorizing or rejecting the
  4 29 transaction.  For purposes of this subsection, a national card
  4 30 association which is engaged in the business of administering
  4 31 for the benefit of the association's members a program
  4 32 involving electronic funds transfer cards or access devices
  4 33 shall not include a financial institution, bank holding
  4 34 company as defined in section 524.1801, or in the federal Bank
  4 35 Holding Company Act of 1956, 12 U.S.C. 1842(d), as amended to
  5  1 July 1, 1994, association holding company as defined in
  5  2 section 534.102, or a supervised organization as defined in
  5  3 section 534.102, any other financial institution holding
  5  4 company organized under federal or state law, or a subsidiary
  5  5 or affiliate corporation owned or controlled by a financial
  5  6 institution or financial holding company, which has authorized
  5  7 a customer or member to engage in satellite terminal
  5  8 transactions.  For purposes of this subsection, a national
  5  9 card association shall also not include a membership
  5 10 corporation or organization which is primarily conducting
  5 11 business as a regional or nationwide network of shared
  5 12 satellite terminals engaged in satellite terminal transaction
  5 13 services and utilizing a common service mark, logo, or
  5 14 trademark to identify such terminal services.
  5 15    For purposes of this subsection, a national card
  5 16 association must be a nonprofit membership corporation or
  5 17 organization, wherever incorporated and maintaining a
  5 18 principal place of business, with a membership solely
  5 19 comprised of insured depository financial institutions,
  5 20 organizations directly or indirectly owned or controlled
  5 21 solely by insured depository financial institutions, entities
  5 22 wholly owned by one or more insured depository financial
  5 23 institutions, holding companies having at least two-thirds of
  5 24 their assets consisting of the voting stock of insured
  5 25 depository financial institutions, organizations wholly owned
  5 26 by one or more holding companies having at least two-thirds of

  5 29 in activities related to the programs sponsored by the
  5 30 national card association, or such other entities or
  5 31 organizations which are authorized by the national card
  5 32 association's bylaws to participate in the electronic funds
  5 33 transfer card or access device programs or other services and
  5 34 programs sponsored by the national card association.
  5 35    d.  This subsection does not apply to satellite terminals
  6  1 located in this state, other than on-line and off-line full-
  6  2 function point-of-sale terminals as identified in this
  6  3 subsection, or multiple use terminals located in this state
  6  4 which are capable of being operated in a manner to initiate
  6  5 transactions affecting customer asset accounts through the use
  6  6 of an electronic personal identifier.
  6  7    Sec. 4.  Sections 527.6 and 527.8, Code 1995, are repealed.
  6  8    Sec. 5.  This Act, being deemed of immediate importance,
  6  9 takes effect upon enactment.  
  6 10                           EXPLANATION
  6 11    This bill amends provisions of chapter 527 relating to the
  6 12 electronic transfer of funds.
  6 13    Section 527.2 is amended by striking from the definition of
  6 14 limited-function terminal the requirement that the terminal
  6 15 not be operated in a manner to distinguish between
  6 16 transactions which affect a customer asset account and
  6 17 transactions which do not affect a customer asset account.
  6 18    Section 527.3 is amended to provide that an administrator
  6 19 may issue an order necessary to secure compliance with or
  6 20 prevent a violation of chapter 527, or rules adopted pursuant
  6 21 to the chapter, concerning the establishment and operation of
  6 22 a satellite terminal, limited-function terminal, upgraded,
  6 23 altered, modified, or replaced limited-function terminal, and
  6 24 any device connected to such terminal.  A person who violates
  6 25 a provision of this chapter or rules adopted pursuant to the
  6 26 chapter is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $1,000 for
  6 27 each day the violation continues.
  6 28    Section 527.5, subsection 5, is amended to strike the
  6 29 requirement that a satellite terminal in this state bear a
  6 30 sign or label identifying each type of financial institution
  6 31 utilizing the terminal.
  6 32    Section 527.5, subsection 12, is amended to provide that a
  6 33 limited-function terminal which is replaced by a device which
  6 34 is an on-line or an off-line point-of-sale terminal which may
  6 35 be utilized to initiate transactions which affect customer
  7  1 asset accounts through the use of an electronic personal
  7  2 identifier, or which is upgraded, altered, or modified to be
  7  3 operated in a manner which allows the use of an electronic
  7  4 personal identifier to initiate transactions which affect
  7  5 customer asset accounts is deemed to be a full-function point-
  7  6 of-sale terminal.  The subsection is amended to provide that
  7  7 all requirements of a satellite terminal in chapter 527 apply
  7  8 to such full-function point-of-sale terminals except for
  7  9 section 527.4, subsections 1, 2, and 4, section 527.4,
  7 10 subsection 3, paragraphs "a", "b", and "c", and section 527.5,
  7 11 subsections 1, 3, and 7.  The subsection provides for the
  7 12 routing of transactions which occur through the use of such
  7 13 terminals.  The subsection provides that if the data
  7 14 processing center is directly connected to such full-function
  7 15 point-of-sale terminal and does not authorize or reject a
  7 16 transaction affecting a customer asset account initiated at
  7 17 the terminal through the use of an electronic personal
  7 18 identifier, the transaction is to be immediately transmitted
  7 19 by the data processing center to either a central routing unit
  7 20 approved pursuant to this chapter or an electronic funds
  7 21 transfer facility owned or operated by a national card
  7 22 association which is engaged in the business of administering
  7 23 for the benefit of the association's members a program
  7 24 involving electronic funds transfer transaction cards or
  7 25 access devices depicting a service mark, logo, or trademark
  7 26 associated with the national card association.  The subsection
  7 27 is amended to provide that it does not apply to satellite
  7 28 terminals in this state, other than on-line and off-line full-
  7 29 function point-of-sale terminals as defined in this
  7 30 subsection, or multiple use terminals which are capable of
  7 31 being operated in a manner to initiate transactions affecting
  7 32 customer accounts through the use of an electronic personal
  7 33 identifier.
  7 34    The bill repeals section 527.6, governing the disclosure of
  7 35 terms to a customer or member who is to be permitted to engage
  8  1 in transactions through the use of a satellite terminal, and
  8  2 section 527.8, relating to liability of a financial
