Austin Airport Promises Rideshare Will Be Closer To The Terminal—But Your Walk Won’t Get Shorter [Roundup]

A permanent injunction already blocks its interchange fee restrictions for national banks, qualifying out-of-state banks, federal savings associations and payment networks. The judge extended that protection to federal credit unions following a new federal regulation protecting their authority to collect interchange fees, so federal law preempts Illinois restrictions.
