AN ACT CONCERNING CREDIT CARD FEES AND SURCHARGES.

HB 6057 would amend Connecticut law to allow businesses to require consumers to pay credit card processing fees and surcharges directly. This bill directly affects consumers who pay with credit cards, as businesses could add these costs to the transaction amount. The key provision permits businesses to pass these fees to customers, changing current restrictions that typically prohibit such surcharges. The bill does not alter the fees themselves but authorizes businesses to collect them from consumers at the point of sale.
