Bill > HR70

This bill, titled the "No SmartPay for Anti-2A Companies Act," prohibits the Administrator of General Services (GSA) from awarding contracts under the SmartPay Program to commercial payment systems that use a payment processing agency which has implemented a merchant category code (MCC) for gun retailers. The SmartPay Program is a government-wide charge card program used by federal agencies for purchasing goods and services. A merchant category code is a four-digit number assigned to a business that indicates the type of goods or services it provides. The bill specifically targets payment processing agencies that have created a specific code to identify gun retailers, effectively preventing such agencies from participating in government payment system contracts. The legislation explicitly states that it does not apply to contracts already awarded prior to the enactment of this Act, meaning only future contracts would be impacted by this restriction.
