Overview: S 2570, "Prohibits certain surcharges on credit or debit card transactions", was recommitted with the enacting clause stricken and introduced on July 31, 2025.
Purpose and Intent: The bill aims to prohibit merchants from imposing surcharges on customers who use credit or debit cards for transactions, with the goal of protecting consumers from additional fees.
Key Provisions:
- Prohibits merchants from charging a surcharge to customers who use credit or debit cards for purchases
- Allows merchants to offer discounts for customers who pay with cash, check, or other non-card payment methods
Affected Parties and Impacts:
- Consumers who use credit or debit cards for transactions, as they would be protected from additional surcharges
- Merchants, who would be required to absorb the costs of credit/debit card processing fees rather than passing them on to customers
Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
- The bill has been recommitted with the enacting clause stricken, which means the bill has been returned to the committee for further consideration and the enacting clause (the part that would make the bill a law) has been removed.
- The current status of the bill is unclear, and it is uncertain whether it will proceed further in the legislative process.
