SB 49 (BR 925) - R. Roeding
AN ACT relating to gift cards.
Create a new section of KRS Chapter 367 to provide minimum lengths of time for the expiration of gift cards issued by businesses or charitable organizations; limits service charges or fees that may have the effect of reducing the value of the card, and mandates that a gift card sold without an expiration date is valid until redeemed or replaced.

SFA (3, R. Roeding) - Retain original provisions; amend Section 1 to exempt a general-use, prepaid card or other electronic payment device that is issued by a bank or other financial institution that is usable at multiple, unaffiliated merchants, or at automated teller machines, or both, from the definition of a "gift card."
