REVENUE/TAXATION DEPT: Provides for digital transaction providers (EN NO IMPACT See Note)
HB 475 proposes to require that fees charged by digital transaction providers be reviewed and approved by state officials before collection. Specifically, the bill mandates that the state treasurer review these charges, with final approval granted by the Senate and House committees responsible for revenue and fiscal matters. This change would apply to companies that process digital payments, ensuring their fee structures undergo legislative oversight. The text indicates this bill has no impact on existing laws, though it introduces a new procedural requirement for fee approval.
