Summary
The bill stops payment‑card networks from charging interchange fees on the portion of a sale that includes sales tax or gratuities, and it bars merchants from adding surcharges to make up for those fees. It imposes a $1,000 civil penalty for each violation and lets merchants sue for damages. The goal is to keep consumers from paying extra fees on taxes and tips.
