The Credit Card Bill
Louisiana limits credit card convenience fees for everyday purchases
Limits the amount of convenience fees charged for use of credit and debit cards for certain transactions
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would cap the extra fee merchants can add when you pay with a credit or debit card for certain purchases.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Consumers would pay less extra cost at checkout, while merchants may lose some revenue; now is the chance to stop hidden fees.
