The Paper Receipts Converting Association (PRCA) announced that California Bill AB 1347, which proposed stringent regulations on the use of paper receipts in the state, failed to move past Senate Appropriations last week. A victory for consumers and industry alike, the bill will not move forward in the state’s 2023-24 legislative session. Upon AB 1347’s introduction earlier this year, PRCA communicated the value of paper receipts to lawmakers in California, working closely with other groups such as the American Forest and Paper Association, the California Chamber of Commerce, the California Retail Council, and local community groups. …Mike Rapier, President of PRCA, “This decision demonstrates a commitment to balance the interests of consumers and businesses alike. Paper receipts offer a tangible and secure record of transactions for consumers, and they are vital to the operations of many businesses.”
