SB 351 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Credit sales; requiring certain actions from sellers when imposing a surcharge on certain transactions. Effective date.

SB 351 prohibits retailers and service providers in Oklahoma from adding extra fees (surcharges) when customers pay with credit or debit cards instead of cash, check, or similar payment methods. It allows businesses to offer discounts for cash payments but bans surcharges on card transactions. Certain entities - like private schools, municipalities, and online services - may charge fees to cover actual costs (e.g., processing fees or secure transaction costs), but only if the fee directly matches those expenses. The law takes effect November 1, 2025.
