Check cashers and MS Credit Availability licensees; authorize to pass credit/debit card fees to customers.

HB 260 allows licensed check cashing businesses and credit availability licensees in Mississippi to pass third-party debit/credit card processing fees directly to customers. It requires clear, upfront disclosure of the fee amount, that it applies to alternative payment methods, and which specific payment types are affected. The bill does not change existing fee limits for check cashing services (like the 3% cap for government checks) but permits passing through the actual cost charged by payment processors. This affects businesses that handle cash transactions and customers using cards at these locations.
