To prohibit the charging of any fees to cash any government issued check.
HB 2084 prohibits merchants from charging fees to cash checks issued by state or federal government entities, such as Social Security benefits or tax refunds. This directly affects merchants who provide check-cashing services, requiring them to waive fees for government-issued checks. The bill amends existing law (§32A-3-1(a)) to explicitly state that no fee may be charged for this specific service, making the prohibition clear and permanent. It does not change fees for other types of checks or impact other check-cashing rules.
