Utah's public colleges, universities, school districts, and charter schools would be allowed to charge people who pay by credit card an extra "electronic payment fee" to cover the cost that credit card companies charge these institutions for processing electronic payments. This means students and families paying tuition, fees, or other school-related costs by credit card could see an added charge on top of the amount owed, starting May 6, 2026 if the bill passes.
