Instead, a potentially bearish…

The Senate passed a bill on June 18, sponsored by Senate Majority Leader M. Teresa Ruiz and Senator James Beach, to amend current law and prohibit businesses from imposing a surcharge on debit and gift card transactions. Current federal law caps interchange fees for debit card transactions, and some major card issuers, such as Visa and Mastercard, prohibit merchants from charging debit-card surcharges. Despite these regulations, reports suggest that some merchants have continued to apply fees to these transactions due to confusion about the law and improper software that applies universal charges to all card payments. “Families continue to face…
