State Rep. Darisha Parker’s consumer protection legislation, H.B. 1977, today passed the House of Representatives. Parker partnered with state Rep. Roni Green to write the bill. Parker said that while small, local businesses usually cover the costs of extra fees related to using a credit or debit card, some have to make a difficult decision to charge the customer, which can lead to frustration and mistrust of small businesses. “Pennsylvania consumers deserve protection at the cash register to ensure they are informed on the true price of their purchase,” Parker said. “This legislation would help consumers face rising prices, while wages stay the same. “While some do advertise the extra fees, it’s not state law. I want to ensure that all Pennsylvania consumers are informed about their purchases of goods and services.” “Consumers deserve to have all the information before being asked to make a decision on a purchase," Green said.
