SB 115 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT PROHIBITING STATE AGENCIES FROM CHARGING SERVICE FEES FOR PAYMENTS MADE BY CERTAIN MEANS.

SB 115 prohibits state agencies from charging service fees when individuals or businesses pay fees using credit cards, charge cards, or debit cards. This directly affects anyone making payments to state agencies, such as for licenses, permits, or taxes. The bill amends state statutes to ban these fees for card payments, ensuring payors aren't charged extra for using electronic payment methods. It does not change the underlying fee amount but eliminates the additional service charge. The bill is focused on simplifying payment processes without altering the core cost of state services.
