To prohibit the charging of any fees to cash any government issued check.

HB 4170 prohibits merchants from charging fees to cash checks issued by state or federal government entities, such as unemployment benefits or tax refunds. This directly affects individuals who receive government-issued checks and need to cash them at retail stores or check-cashing services. The bill amends existing law to explicitly state that merchants cannot charge fees for this specific service, while maintaining standard fee limits for other check-cashing transactions. It does not change rules for cashing personal or business checks. The law aims to reduce costs for residents relying on government payments.
