The bill aims to permit businesses to impose surcharges on customers who pay with credit or debit cards, which was previously prohibited in some states. This change would enable businesses to pass along the costs associated with card transactions to consumers. The bill seeks to provide more transparency in pricing and potentially reduce the financial burden on businesses that accept card payments. If enacted, this legislation could impact consumer purchasing behavior and encourage the use of alternative payment methods.
