The legislation claims to promote competition but creates conditions disadvantaging the local economy, benefiting large retailers through reduced fees. The CCCA threatens credit card rewards programs, favoring corporations at the expense of consumers and small businesses.
Supporting the bill means voting against consumer interests and popular credit card rewards programs. Past regulatory actions showed prices didn't decrease; large retailers benefited while consumers lost out.
