     1    Section  1.  Subdivision  2-b of section 396-i of the general business
     2  law, as added by a chapter of the laws  of  2022  amending  the  general
     3  business  law relating to providing notice of potential scams when sell-
     4  ing gift cards, as proposed in legislative bills numbers S. 145-B and A.

     6    2-b. (a) No person,  firm,  partnership,  association  or  corporation
     7  shall  sell a gift certificate to a purchaser unless the seller displays
     8  a conspicuous notice at or near where the gift certificate is  displayed
     9  or  at  or  near  the  physical location where the sale occurs, that (i)
    10  cautions the purchaser about prepaid card scams, and (ii) instructs  the
    11  purchaser on what to do if they suspect they might be a potential victim
    12  of such a scam.
    13    (b)  The consumer protection division, as established in section nine-

    15  ers  may  use  to comply with the requirements of this section and shall
    16  make such notice accessible to sellers including, but  not  limited  to,
    17  posting  such  notice on the consumer protection division's website in a
    18  format available for sellers to print and display.
    19    § 2. This act shall take effect on the  same  date  and  in  the  same
    20  manner  as  a  chapter of the laws of 2022 amending the general business
    21  law relating to providing notice of potential scams  when  selling  gift
    22  cards,  as  proposed in legislative bills numbers S. 145-B and A. 266-A,
