On July 21, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie signed a bill to restrict how retailers collect and use
consumers' personal information stored on identity cards. The
law will limit the purposes for which retailers may scan
identification cards to verifying identity for credit card
purchases or for other credit approval purposes, verifying age for
age-restricted goods, carrying out contracts, preventing fraud, or
as required by law. Retail stores may collect only a person's
name, address, and date of birth; the state that issued the ID
card; and the ID card number. The law goes into effect on October
1.
