Colorado Senate Bill 26-134, designed to address "swipe fees" on credit card transactions, is set to undergo second reading in the Senate. The bill would prohibit interchange fees from being applied to the sales-tax portion of electronic payment transactions. This move has been supported by small businesses as a way to reduce costs without affecting the consumer. However, an opposition ad, credited to a D.C. outfit named Electronic Payments Coalition (EPC), warns that the bill could force consumers to pay tax in cash. While this change could be beneficial to small businesses, it could also hurt credit unions, which would see less revenue for work they're already performing.
