Authorizes local governments to impose convenience fees for accepting electronic payments.

This bill (A2474) authorizes New Jersey local governments (such as municipalities, courts, and libraries) to charge a convenience fee of up to $3 per transaction when residents or businesses pay bills electronically (via credit/debit card or online systems). It directly affects residents who pay local fees online by adding a small fee to offset the administrative costs of electronic payment systems. The bill requires local governments to continue offering traditional payment options like cash, check, or money order. It amends existing law to clarify that such fees are permitted, following a Supreme Court ruling that previously prohibited them under the Government Electronic Payment Acceptance Act.
