On Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) announced he intends to call up a vote on the amendment by Senators Jon Tester (D-MT) and Bob Corker (R-TN) that seeks to delay the implementation of the Durbin amendment that would limit swipe fees for debit card purchases, effectively killing the reform retailers have worked so hard to achieve. The vote could come any time after June 6, once the Senate returns from recess.
The National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) noted it is of utmost importance for retailers to meet with their senators during the upcoming Memorial Day recess and urge a NO VOTE on any legislation offered to delay implementation of debit card swipe fee reform.
