NEW JERSEY (CBS) – A federal judge has temporarily blocked New Jersey’s attempts to seize millions of dollars in unspent gift cards and calling cards. Now, an assemblyman who is chairman of the Consumer Affairs Committee is hoping the law will be repealed.
The New Jersey Retail Merchants Association and other groups challenged the constitutionality of the law in federal court – leading to the ruling. They argued the law placed an unreasonable burden on retailers, who were being required to gather and keep personal information on those who bought gift cards or calling cards and turn that information over to the state.
