Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the banking law, in relation to ATM security
Purpose or general idea of bill
This act will increase ATM safety by allowing ATM users to alert police if they are being forced to withdraw money against their will. Police are alerted when an individual enters his/her ATM pin number backwards. Money is still dispersed and the criminal has no idea that the police have been alerted. This is a safer alternative to police alarms in ATM's which put robbery victims at risk.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1. Section 75-c of the banking law is amended by adding a new subdivision 4.
Justification
ATM's are often preying grounds for robbers and can be an extremely unsafe manner in which to access your money, yet many individuals use ATM's on a daily basis. This new ATM software could save hundreds of lives by discretely alerting police as well as lead to the quick apprehension of criminals in crimes of theft and/or kidnapping.
