  • Assemblyman Diegnan Save New Jersey's Gift Cards Bill

    This bill reverses the 2010 changes made by the Christie administration which has led to gift card companies from pulling their business from New Jersey. Those changes were to the State’s abandonment periods for travelers checks, money orders, and escheatment of SVCs. The bill restores the 15 year abandonment period for travelers checks issued on or after the date of enactment. The bill restores the seven year abandonment period for money orders issued on or after the date of enactment. Under the 2010 changes, both travelers checks and money orders were subject to a three year abandonment period. The bill provides that SVCs issued on or after the bill’s date of enactment are no longer subject to State escheatment
