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

This bill authorizes local governments in New Jersey to charge a convenience fee of up to $3 when citizens pay bills using credit cards, debit cards, or electronic funds transfers. The legislation directly affects municipal units, such as courts and libraries, by allowing them to collect these fees to cover the administrative costs of processing electronic payments. While permitting the new fees, the bill also clarifies that these government entities must continue to offer traditional payment options like cash, checks, and money orders for those who prefer them.
