(b) The Department may, but need not, accept payment by credit card for any
fee,
fine, or other charge that it is authorized by law to collect. The Department
may adopt rules and procedures governing the acceptance of payment by credit
card and may enter into such agreements as may be necessary to accept payment
by
credit card.

retain a service fee out of the payments collected.

paid
by credit card or through a third-party payment agent authorized by the
Department, less the amount of any service fee retained under the Department's
agreement with the credit card service provider or the third-party payment
agent, shall be deemed receipt of the full amount of the fee or other charge
and
shall discharge the payment obligation in full.
