Banking And Finance > Safe Use of Remote Service Terminals
Short Summary
The provided legal document content pertains to the safe use of remote service terminals in Georgia. It applies to operators of remote service terminals, customers, financial institutions, and owners of automated teller machines. The document defines various terms and specifies conditions for defined parking areas and hours of darkness. It does not apply to entities primarily involved in electronic fund transfer data. The document aims to ensure the safety of remote service terminals by requiring operators to adopt procedures for evaluating their safety. Compliance requirements are established for operators of terminals installed after July 1, 1993, and optional for existing terminals until July 1, 1994. Lighting standards, obstructions, and crime incidence are among the factors to be considered in the evaluation. The document does not impose a duty to relocate or modify terminals based on specific events or circumstances but establishes a standard of good faith. Violation of provisions or regulations does not constitute negligence per se. Another document in the Georgia Code on Banking and Finance establishes compliance requirements for operators of remote service terminals. Compliance is mandatory for terminals installed after July 1, 1993, and optional until July 1, 1994, for existing terminals. The person controlling the access area or defined parking area is responsible for compliance. Lighting standards for open and operating terminals, defined parking areas, access areas, and enclosed terminal installations are specified. No penalties are mentioned in this document. Additionally, there is a document governing the provision of safety notices to customers using remote service terminals. It applies to customers receiving access devices from issuers and requires the delivery or mailing of safety information. The information should be provided at or before the time the customer receives their access device. For customers who received access devices prior to July 1, 1993, the information should be delivered by July 1, 1994. Only one notice is required per household, even if multiple access devices are issued. The information may be included with other access device disclosures. No specific exemptions or penalties are mentioned in this document. The remaining documents state that the provisions of the chapter do not apply to certain types of remote service terminals, empower the commissioner of the Department of Banking and Finance to enforce the chapter, and clarify that certain entities are not subject to the duties and liabilities outlined in the chapter. The chapter also supersedes and preempts any local rules or regulations regarding customer safety at remote service terminals.
