Abstract: Authorizes the state to accept payment of state charges by a form of electronic payment
and requires certain reporting by the state treasurer
Present law authorizes any state entity to accept payment of state charges by credit cards, debit cards,
and any other forms of electronic payment approved by the state treasurer. Requires the treasurer
to designate any credit cards, debit cards, or other forms of electronic payments that state entities
may accept to receive payment of state charges. Also requires the treasurer to at least annually
publish a list of approved credit cards and debit cards by which a state entity will be authorized to
accept payment of state charges.
Proposed law changes the reporting requirement of the list of approved credit cards and debit cards
from at least annually to at least biannually. Proposed law retains all other provisions of present law.
Effective upon signature of governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
