Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact

                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                             RS 15590

     This legislation authorizes State agencies the option of
contracting with the State's portal to charge a "convenience fee"
for over the counter credit or debit card payments.  Credit and
debit card transactions have an added cost for the transaction.  
     By contracting with the portal, agencies will eliminate this
cost of doing business.  This authorization is consistent with
the current practice of State agencies accepting electronic
payments over the internet.


                           FISCAL NOTE

     There is no fiscal impact.
