 4 passengers and separately stated on any receipt that is provided to such
 5 passengers, and may include, if permitted by the regulatory agency, any
 6 processing fees resulting from a credit card or other non-cash payment

 10 hire transportation trip. All regulatory agencies must adjust any fares
 11 that are authorized by them to include the surcharge imposed by this
 12 article, and may adjust such authorized fare to include any processing
 13 fees imposed on the payment of such surcharge, and must require that any
 14 meter or other instrument used in any for-hire vehicle regulated by it
 15 to calculate fares be adjusted to include the surcharge and any attend-
 16 ant fees where authorized. Any processing fees charged to passengers
 17 shall also be separately stated on any receipt provided to passengers.

 21 (1) The surcharge imposed by this article must be passed along to
 22 passengers and separately stated on any receipt that is provided to such
 23 passengers, and may include, if permitted by the regulatory agency, any
