Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill SB 5280 raises the maximum daily limit that a consumer can transact through a virtual currency kiosk from $1,000 to $2,000. Additionally, it increases the maximum allowable fees on virtual currency transactions from 5% to 15% of the transaction amount, while keeping a flat fee cap at $5. These changes matter because they give consumers more flexibility in handling larger transactions and potentially allow kiosk operators to recover more costs, which could influence how these services are provided and accessed.
