Provides that no person shall: (1) refuse to honor a valid gift certificate; (2) reduce the value of a gift certificate, except when the holder of a gift certificate partially redeems the gift certificate as payment for goods or services; or (3) sell a gift certificate that is subject to an expiration date. Provides that upon the presentation of a gift certificate, the issuer shall disclose to the holder the date on which the gift certificate was issued and the remaining balance of the gift certificate.
