Indiana and New York are the latest two states to introduce legislation that would place limitations on the use of public assistance benefits.
Indiana's bill (Senate Bill 413) would require the owner, the seller or third-party processor of an ATM or POS terminal to "disable" access to cash assistance benefits in specified locations.
New York's bill, introduced earlier this week (Assembly Bill 2386), would prohibit the sale or purchase of alcoholic beverages, tobacco products or lottery tickets with public assistance benefits.
A similar bill was introduced January 9 in the state Senate (Senate Bill 966).
A separate bill introduced in the New York Assembly (Assembly Bill 461) would bar the practice of levying surcharges on ATM transactions that occur at ATMs on public university property.
