An Act relative to transparency in credit card fees
This bill requires businesses to clearly disclose credit card surcharges to customers. Specifically, it mandates that sellers post a visible sign and include the surcharge amount on every receipt, showing how it relates to their cost of accepting credit cards. The law directly affects merchants who charge extra for credit card payments instead of cash or check. It aims to increase transparency by making surcharge details readily available at the point of sale. The requirement applies to all sales transactions involving credit card use.
