	Section 28A of chapter 140D of the General Laws, is amended by striking out, in line 7-9, the words “(2) No seller in any sales transaction may impose a surcharge on a cardholder who elects to use a credit card in lieu of payment by cash, check or similar means." and replace it with the following words: "(2) A seller in any sales transaction may impose a surcharge of one half of the processing fee on a cardholder who elects to use a credit card or debit card in lieu of payment by cash, check or similar means. The charging of the surcharge fee shall be clearly stated on the bill or invoice prior to payment."
