Credit cards; clarifies language allowing acceptance thereof by clerks to make it clear. (SB960)

Introduced By

Sen. Mark Obenshain (R-Harrisonburg)

Description

Acceptance of credit cards by clerks. Clarifies the language allowing the acceptance of credit cards by clerks to make it clear that the convenience fee collected is to be collected from the person presenting the card as payment and not the credit card issuer. The bill also changes the language calling this fee a service charge to a reasonable convenience fee to mirror the language used in credit contracts. Amends § 17.1-275 (“Fees collected by clerks of circuit courts; generally.”), § 19.2-353.3 (“Acceptance of checks and credit cards in lieu of money; additional fee.”), of the Code of Virginia.
