Bill > H375

This bill modifies existing Massachusetts law regarding credit card surcharges by requiring merchants who add an extra fee for customers paying with credit cards to provide more transparent disclosure. Specifically, the bill mandates that sellers must clearly inform customers about the credit card surcharge through two methods: first, by posting a conspicuous sign on the business premises, and second, by printing the surcharge details directly on the customer's receipt. The receipt must not only show the dollar amount of the surcharge but also explain how this fee relates to the merchant's own costs of processing credit card payments. This change aims to give consumers more clarity about additional fees they may encounter when choosing to pay by credit card, helping them understand the direct financial implications of their payment method.
