An Act To Allow Time-Share Associations To Charge Credit Card Surcharges

This bill allows time-share associations and their managing entities to charge a surcharge when owners pay assessments or fees using credit or debit cards. The surcharge must be clearly disclosed before payment and cannot exceed the actual cost of processing the card transaction (including fees from payment processors). Time-share owners can avoid the surcharge by paying with cash, check, or other non-card methods. The bill directly affects time-share owners who use card payments and associations managing their fees. It does not permit surcharges for debit card transactions if payment processors don't charge for them.
