No SmartPay for Anti-2A Companies Act

This bill blocks the General Services Administration (GSA) from signing new SmartPay contracts with any payment system that uses a special merchant code to label gun stores. It only affects future contracts; current SmartPay contracts are not changed. A summary from the Library of Congress confirms the same rule: no SmartPay contract if the payment processor has put in a gun-retailer merchant category code.

Key points:

• Who is affected: GSA and payment companies seeking SmartPay contracts; gun retailers are indirectly affected by how payment systems label their stores .
• What changes: GSA cannot award a new SmartPay contract to payment systems that use a merchant category code for gun retailers.
• When: Applies only after the bill becomes law; existing contracts stay in place.
