On April 8, the Governor of Arizona signed into law SB 1034 which will amend money transmission requirements for licensees. The new law will require a licensee, before transmitting any money (either in person or electronically), to provide consumer fraud warnings on the associated risks and dangers, instructions on how to stop a money transmission (if that option is available), and a statement that the money not be returned after the transmission is completed. The law will not apply to (i) an electronic funds transfer to another person that is not available for immediate use, (ii) electronic funds transfers made with a gift certificate, and (iii) a licensee that can provide proof of presenting its employees an annual fraud prevention training that covers “the indicia of fraud associated” with electronic money transfers. The law will go into effect on July 7 (90 days after enactment).
