Summary

HB 237 would stop lenders from accepting or even offering a tip option and would require clear disclosures if a tip is offered. It also places earned‑wage‑access companies under licensing rules, forces them to give a free‑of‑charge option, and bars many fees, credit checks, and collection tactics. The goal is to protect workers from hidden costs and predatory practices.
