AN ACT PROHIBITING STATE AGENCIES FROM CHARGING SERVICE FEES FOR PAYMENTS MADE BY CERTAIN MEANS.

SB 79 prohibits state agencies from charging payors a service fee when payments are made using credit cards, charge cards, or debit cards. This directly affects individuals and businesses paying state fees (like licenses or permits) who would otherwise face extra charges for using card payments. The bill amends statutes to explicitly ban these fees, requiring agencies to accept card payments without additional costs. It does not change how payments are processed, only eliminates the fee for specific payment methods.
