ABA Statement on Colorado Governor’s Veto of Interchange Fee Bill (Senate Bill 26-134)

 “We welcome Governor Polis’ decision to veto this legislation and spare Colorado consumers and businesses from the payment chaos it would have unleashed — while also sparing the state from a costly and uphill legal battle. The governor's action, as well as a federal court ruling in Illinois this week, should send a clear message to any other state contemplating similar legislation that it is a mistake. We express our appreciation to the Colorado Bankers Association and other local stakeholders for their efforts to highlight the harm this flawed bill would have brought to the people of Colorado."
