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

This bill allows New Jersey local governments (such as cities, counties, and municipalities) to charge a convenience fee of up to $3 per transaction when accepting electronic payments like credit cards or online transfers. It directly affects residents and businesses paying local fees (e.g., permits, taxes, or fines) by adding this fee for electronic transactions, while requiring governments to continue offering traditional payment options like cash, checks, or money orders. The bill amends existing law to clarify that local units may impose this fee to cover administrative costs of electronic payment systems, following a recent court ruling that had blocked such fees under the prior law. This change ensures local governments can offset processing expenses without eliminating non-electronic payment alternatives.
