Electronic Payments Made to Units of Local Governments

Summary

The bill amends state law to require all units of local government—cities, counties, special districts, and certain officials—to accept credit cards, debit cards, charge cards and electronic funds transfers, and to provide an online payment option for taxes, fees and other charges. It also permits these entities to add a surcharge that covers the transaction costs. The goal is to make paying government services more convenient for the public.
