The US state of Wisconsin’s lawmakers introduced a bill in the state’s Senate, which was done with a bill given by a bill earlier, aimed at stopping the fraud by Crypto ATM.
Senator Caleda Rice, along with six other Democrats, introduced the Senate Bill 386 on Monday as a fellow legislature in the Assembly Bill 384, which was introduced by democratic representative Ryan Spad on July 31.
Under uniformly proposed bills, crypto ATMs or kiosk operators will need a mini transmission license to operate in the state and they will have to collect information about their customers, including names, date birth, number, address and email.
Submitting a similar bill in both houses is a tactic to increase the chances of becoming a law and accelerate the legislative process, as the two chambers can consider it simultaneously.
Wisconsin Crypto ATM see users warning
Under the bills, crypto ATM operators will have to submit a government -issued document from their customers like a passport or driver’s license, and will need to take a user image.
Operators will have to confirm the identity of their customers for each transaction, and consumers will be linked to $ 1,000 daily transactions.
The bills order that the labels of cheating prospects should be kept in the front of the machine “in the field of customer’s approach”.
Crypto ATMs usually receive much more fees than online crypto exchange, and bills suggest that the fee operators can receive a flat $ 5 fee or 3 % of the transaction value, which is even higher.
Operators will also have to pay consumers fully if the ATM is used to take action on a fraudulent transaction, such as for a scammer, or if the operator has been contacted by law enforcement agencies, it has been confirmed that the transaction was fake within 30 days.
