Latest version.
  • 1. The
      superintendent  shall,  by  regulation, establish the maximum fees which
      may be charged by licensees for cashing a check, draft, or money  order.
      No  licensee shall charge or collect any sum for cashing a check, draft,
      or money order in excess of that  established  by  the  superintendent's
      regulations;  provided,  however, that no maximum fee shall apply to the
      charging of fees by licensees for the cashing of checks, drafts or money
      orders for payees of such checks, drafts or money orders that are  other
      than natural persons.
        2. The schedule of fees and charges permitted under this section shall
      be  conspicuously  and  continuously  posted in every location and mobil
      unit licensed under this article.
        3. No change in fees shall become effective earlier than  thirty  days
      after the superintendent shall notify the majority leader of the senate,
      the  speaker  of  the  assembly, and the chairmen of both the senate and
      assembly committees on banks of his intention to change fees.
        4. The fees in effect immediately prior to the effective date of  this
      subdivision  shall  continue  to  be  the  maximum  allowable fees until
      revised by the superintendent's regulations.
        5. Each licensee shall keep  and  use  in  its  business  such  books,
      accounts,  and  records  as the superintendent may require to carry into
      effect the provisions of this article and the rules and regulations made
      by the superintendent hereunder.  Every  licensee  shall  preserve  such
      books, accounts and records for at least two years.
        6.  Before  a licensee shall deposit with any banking organization, or
      with any organization engaged in the business of banking, a check, draft
      or money order cashed by such licensee, the same must be  endorsed  with
      the  actual  name  under  which such licensee is doing business and must
      have the words "licensed casher of checks" legibly  written  or  stamped
      immediately after or below such name.
        7.  Every  licensee shall submit to the superintendent, or such person
      as the superintendent may designate, such suspicious activity reports or
      currency transaction reports as are required to be submitted to  federal
      authorities  pursuant  to provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act (subchapter
      11, chapter 53, title  31,  United  States  code)  and  regulations  and
      administrative orders related thereto, as amended, within the periods of
      time  as  required  by such act and regulations. A licensee may submit a
      copy of any such report to the superintendent, or  such  person  as  the
      superintendent   may   designate,   that  is  filed  with  such  federal
      authorities. The superintendent may adopt such  regulations  or  require
      such  additional  reports  as  he  or  she deems necessary to insure the
      effective enforcement of this subdivision.
