    Sec. 15. Notices to customers of basic safety precautions. The issuer of an access device shall furnish a customer receiving the device with a notice of basic safety precautions that the customer should employ while using an automated teller machine. This information shall be furnished by personally delivering or by mailing the information to each customer whose mailing address for the account to which the access device relates is in the State of Illinois.

With respect to a customer to whom an access device has been issued prior to July 1, 1997, the information shall be delivered on or before July 1, 1998. Only one notice need be furnished per household, and if access devices are furnished to more than one customer for a single account or set of accounts or on the basis of a single application or other request for access devices, only a single notice need be furnished in satisfaction of the notification responsibilities as to those customers. The information may be included with other disclosures related to the access device furnished to the customer, such as with any initial or periodic disclosure statement furnished pursuant to the federal Electronic Fund Transfer Act.

    (2) to be accompanied by another person when using an automated teller machine during the hours of darkness;
    (3) to refrain from displaying cash, to place cash in a pocket as soon as a transaction is completed, and to count cash in the safety of a locked enclosure such as a car or home;

    (5) to report all crimes immediately to the operator of the automated teller machine or to local law enforcement officials.

    Sec. 25. Terminals to which Act not applicable. This Act does not apply to any automated teller machine that:

    Sec. 30. Inapplicability to persons or entities that are not financial institutions or operators. The provisions of this Act shall not be construed to create any duty, responsibility, or obligation for any network or switch as defined under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act or any other person or entity whose primary function is to provide for the exchange, transfer, or dissemination of electronic fund transfer data so long as the person or entity is not otherwise a financial institution or an operator, as defined in this Act, and the person or entity shall have no liability of any nature to any operator, customer, or user of an automated teller machine and shall not be named in any action by an operator, customer, or user of an automated teller machine for any claim concerning any provision of this Act or relating to the use or attempted use of an automated teller machine.

    (205 ILCS 695/35)
    Sec. 35. Standard of care. The intent of the General Assembly of the State of Illinois in enacting this Act is to enhance the safety of consumers using automated teller machines in the State of Illinois without discouraging the placement of automated teller machines in locations convenient to consumers' homes and work places. Because decisions concerning safety at automated teller machines are inherently subjective, the General Assembly establishes as the standard of care applicable to owners or operators of automated teller machines and persons who control access areas or defined parking areas in connection with user safety, substantial compliance with Section 10 and, if the owners or operators or persons who control access areas or defined parking areas are also issuers of access devices, substantial compliance, in addition, with Section 15 of this Act. The General Assembly establishes as the standard of care applicable to issuers of access devices substantial compliance with Section 15 of this Act. It is not the intent of the General Assembly in enacting this Act to impose a duty to relocate or modify automated teller machines upon the occurrence of a particular event or circumstance. Substantial compliance with Section 10 of this Act shall constitute prima facie evidence that an owner or operator of an automated teller machine, and a person who controls an access area or defined parking area, has provided adequate and reasonable measures for the safety of customers. Substantial compliance with Section 15 of this Act shall constitute prima facie evidence that an issuer of an access device has provided adequate and reasonable measures for the safety of customers.

    (205 ILCS 695/40)
    Sec. 40. Home rule. The regulation of customer safety at automated teller machines located in the State of Illinois and the regulation and licensing of operators of automated teller machines, issuers of access devices, and persons who control an access area or defined parking area are exclusive powers and functions of the State. A home rule unit may not regulate or license operators of automated teller machines, issuers of access devices, or persons who control access areas or defined parking areas with respect to customer safety. This Section is a denial and limitation of home rule powers and functions under subsection (h) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution.
