Rob Karr, of the Illinois Retail Merchants Association: The Interchange Fee Prohibition Act "... stops credit card companies from charging swipe fees on sales taxes and tips in Illinois. The law becomes effective July 1. ... Despite this, banks continue to challenge the implementation of the law, recently filing a motion to appeal a ruling by a federal judge that upheld the Interchange Fee Prohibition Act."
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Credit card companies should just stop in Illinois after a week the state will have to cave.
This is a great idea.
