|
|
This bill allows a
state department or agency to impose a surcharge for payments made by credit
card or debit card. Any state department or agency that accepts debit or
credit card payments will now be able to recoup associated fees and charges
instead of absorbing them, resulting in savings to the department or agency.
In fiscal year 2019-20, credit card charges across all funds and all of state
government totaled $1.1 million. |
