STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
H184aaS amends Section 67-1201, Idaho Code, to clarify that the State Treasurer's office is authorized to administer programs related to receiving and keeping moneys. The bill contemplates administration of merchant services, for which the Treasurer currently manages a contract with Visa and MasterCard for the use of credit and debit cards. However, the contract now requires agencies who accept credit or debit cards to be Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliant. Currently, three agencies (Department of Fish and Game, LiquorDivision, andtheIdahoTransportationDepartment)intendtocontinuetoutilizemerchantservicesas administered by the Treasurer. These agencies will be billed an estimated $40,000 per year by the Treasurer for annual Reports on Compliance (ROCs), which are required for PCI compliance. Two other agencies (Bureau of Occupational Licenses and the Board of Medicine) will, instead, transition to Access Idaho, which works with a different vendor for merchant services. The Bureau of Occupational Licenses will need $25,000 one-time to convert to Access Idaho, and $20,000 ongoing to offset the 3% fee charged by Access Idaho. Similarly, the Board of Medicine would need $25,000 one-time to convert, and $10,000 ongoing.
