AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 140D of the General Laws to define "credit card processor" and "merchant processing agreement", and adds a new Section 37 to the chapter. The new section requires credit card processors to clearly disclose certain information in merchant processing agreements, limits the amount of fees, fines, or penalties that can be assessed for early termination of agreements, and exempts certain large organizations from these requirements. The provisions of the new section will apply to agreements entered into or renewed on or after the effective date of the act, which is 180 days from passage.
