An Act amending the act of December 17, 1968 (P.L.1224, No.387), known as the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law, providing for prohibition of certain fee charges.

This bill updates Pennsylvania's consumer protection laws to ban businesses from charging extra fees or higher interest rates to customers who choose to pay by mail or receive paper statements. The measure directly affects consumers and financial institutions by prohibiting differential pricing based on the method of payment or billing delivery. While businesses remain allowed to offer discounts for choosing electronic options, they cannot penalize customers for preferring traditional mail or paper communications. The changes take effect 60 days after the bill is enacted.
