Bill > HB06057

This bill proposes to amend existing state statutes to allow businesses to pass credit card processing fees and surcharges directly to consumers. Credit card surcharges are additional fees that businesses can charge customers who choose to pay with a credit card, which typically cover the merchant's transaction processing costs. Currently, many states have restrictions on such fees, but this bill would explicitly authorize businesses to require consumers to pay these additional charges when using credit cards. The bill is straightforward in its purpose, essentially giving businesses more pricing flexibility by enabling them to transparently recover the costs associated with credit card transactions from customers. While the bill text is brief, it represents a significant change that could impact consumer spending habits by making the previously hidden costs of credit card payments more visible at the point of sale.
