LOC GOV-CREDIT CARD AGREEMENTS

Summary

The bill lets local governing bodies that accept credit‑card payments sign agreements with financial institutions or software providers to handle processing and ensure correct remittance. It requires a public hearing before adopting credit‑card acceptance, mandates disclosure of all fees, and bars contracts from blocking the use of the State Treasurer’s E‑Pay program or any other payment system the entity has chosen. The change aims to give municipalities flexibility while protecting taxpayer options.
