For legislation relative to credit card surcharges. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill modifies Chapter 140D of the Massachusetts general laws by removing subsection (a)(2) from Section 28A, which appears to be related to regulations on credit card surcharges. While the specific details of the removed subsection are not provided in the bill text, the proposed change suggests a potential alteration to existing rules about how businesses can charge additional fees when customers use credit cards. By eliminating this specific subsection, the bill may be aiming to change or simplify existing regulations surrounding credit card surcharge practices, potentially giving businesses more flexibility or removing a previous restriction. Without the full context of the original law, the precise impact of this change cannot be definitively determined, but it represents a targeted amendment to the state's consumer protection and financial transaction statutes.
