13080. (a) No operator of an automated teller machine (ATM) in this
state shall impose any surcharge upon a customer for the usage of
that machine whether or not the customer is using an access device
issued by that operator unless that surcharge is clearly disclosed to
the customer electronically on the automated teller machine. Unless
the disclosure is made prior to the customer being obligated to pay
the surcharge, the customer shall be provided an opportunity to
cancel that transaction without incurring any surcharge. This
subdivision does not apply to a point of sale transaction at an ATM.
(b) If the sale of a good or service is conducted at the ATM, the
operator of that ATM shall disclose to the customer electronically on
the ATM the total price of the good or service and any fee charged
solely for the usage of the ATM. Unless the disclosure is made prior
to the customer being obligated to pay for the good or service, the
customer shall be provided with an opportunity to cancel the
transaction without incurring any obligation.
(c) If a surcharge is imposed on a customer using an access device
not issued by the operator, the operator shall disclose that the
customer may also be charged an additional fee by his or her own
institution.

machine," "customer," and "access device" have the meanings set forth

includes, but is not limited to, receiving a statement of account

prior to being obligated to pay those fees.
(2) In 1996, the Legislature enacted Assembly Bill 3366 (Chapter
98 of the Statutes of 1996), which required operators of automatic
teller machines (ATMs) to electronically disclose fees for
transactions at those ATMs. That legislation did not require
disclosure of fees at point-of-sale devices.
(3) In order to maximize consumer awareness of fees at
point-of-sale devices, and to create equity between operators of ATMs
and operators of point-of-sale devices, it is the intent of the
Legislature in enacting this section to require the maximum feasible
disclosure of fees at point-of-sale devices.
(b) No operator of a point-of-sale device in this state shall
impose any fee upon a customer for the use of that device unless that

placed on or at the point-of-sale device as follows:
(1) For all point-of-sale devices, the fee disclosure shall be on
a label meeting federal standards.
(2) For point-of-sale devices purchased on or after January 1,
2001, that have electronic displays, the fee disclosure shall also be
electronic.
(c) For purposes of this section, the term "point-of-sale device"

service.

point-of-sale device that would include the video touch screen or
nontactile keypad shall also be equipped with either of the
following:
(1) A tactually discernible numerical keypad similar to a
telephone keypad containing a raised dot with a dot base diameter
between 1.5 millimeters and 1.6 millimeters and a height between 0.6
millimeters and 0.9 millimeters on the number 5 key that enables a
visually impaired person to enter his or her own personal
identification number or any other personal information necessary to
process the transaction in a manner that provides the opportunity for
the same degree of privacy input and output available to all
individuals.
(2) Other technology, such as a radio frequency identification
device, fingerprint biometrics, or some other mechanism that enables
a visually impaired person to access the video touch screen device
with his or her personal identifier and to process his or her
transaction in a manner that provides the opportunity for the same
degree of privacy input and output available to all individuals.
(b) (1) On or before January 1, 2010, any existing point-of-sale

touch screen or any other nontactile keypad shall also be equipped

technology as described in subdivision (a) that enable a visually
impaired person to enter his or her own personal identification
number or any other personal information necessary to process a
transaction in a manner that ensures personal privacy of the
information being entered.
(d) As used in this section, "point-of-sale device" includes any
device used by a customer for the purchase of a good or service where

include the following:

Section 13020.
(2) A point-of-sale device that is equipped to, or exclusively
services, motor fuel dispensers.

includes a device, whether internal or external to the unit, that
does not lend itself to easy removal, allows visually impaired users
easy access, and otherwise meets the terms and conditions of this
section. If the device is freestanding, it shall be permanently
attached to the unit by means of a braided wire or some other tether.

other existing right or remedy as it pertains to point-of-sale

transaction using an account from a financial institution that is
