HR 475 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

A Resolution urging the Congress of the United States to protect consumers from government interference in the free markets and any actions that would weaken our national security by opposing Congressional efforts to overreach into the wallets of American consumers and small businesses.

This Pennsylvania House Resolution urges the U.S. Congress to oppose federal laws that would restrict how consumers and small businesses choose their payment methods. The bill argues that government mandates on financial transactions could weaken national security and reduce innovation in the payments industry. It specifically calls for preventing rules that might require surcharges for credit card use or force a shift to centralized payment systems. The resolution frames these market-based choices as essential for protecting consumer privacy and maintaining the security of the American financial system.
