Bill > HB4170

This bill amends existing West Virginia law to prohibit merchants from charging any fees to cash checks issued by a state or federal governmental entity, such as a tax refund or social security check. Previously, merchants could charge a fee for cashing checks, but this amendment adds a specific exemption for government-issued checks, meaning individuals can now cash these checks without incurring a fee from the merchant.
