AI Summary
This bill aims to protect the wages of employees who receive their pay through an electronic wage card. It defines a "payroll card account" as a prepaid account established by an employer to which an employee's wages are directly or indirectly transferred, and which carries the consumer protections under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act and Regulation E. The bill requires employers using payroll card accounts to provide employees with the ability to make at least one free withdrawal per pay period, up to the full amount of their net wages, and to disclose any fees associated with the card in advance, excluding third-party fees. Employees must also be provided with a free means to check their payroll card account balance.
