     This bill amends section 1 of P.L.2002, c.101 (C.56:11-42) to prohibit a retail sales establishment from electronically printing more than the last five digits of a customer's debit card account number, or the expiration date of the customer's debit card, upon any sales receipt provided to the customer at the point of sale, except for any sales receipt in which the sole means of recording the customer's debit card number is by handwriting or by an imprint or copy of the customer's debit card.
