Citing environmental factors and potential health risks, assembly member Phil Ting (D-Calif.) has reintroduced a bill pushing for the adoption of electronic receipts in the state while phasing out widely used paper receipts.
AB 1347, also known as “Skip the Slip” bill, will require stores to make electronic receipts their default option. In case a customer requests a paper receipt, the receipt cannot be longer than necessary and must be free from chemicals like BPA and BPS. Businesses that do not comply with the regulation after two warnings could be subject to a penalty of $25 per day, with the maximum annual penalty capped at $300.
