Question

The texas legislature recently passed a law that gives retailers the right to ask customers using credit or debit cards to show a photo id to prove their identity. What type of law does this represent?

Answer 1

Answer:

Statutory

Explanation:

Statutory law is a type of law that is written and passed by a legislature (national, state or local). This term is used to distinguish it from oral or customary law, as well as from laws promulgated by the executive or the judiciary. In this example, the law that was passed is statutory law, because it was passed by the Texas legislature.

Answer 2

"The law doesn’t make it mandatory. In other words, a customer can decline to show a photo ID and put a purchase on a credit or debit card without any repercussions. Likewise, the merchant won’t be penalized if a cardholder doesn’t display a photo ID during a point-of-sale transaction."

Civil law would be the correct answer.

This is not relating to criminal offense.
