The commissioner shall, by regulation adopted in accordance with the provisions of chapter 54, establish the maximum fees which may be charged by a licensee for cashing a check, draft or money order drawn on a depository institution.

(2) start-up costs, operational expenses, volume of business, and any other information the commissioner deems relevant. The licensee shall conspicuously post and at all times display, at each place of business, a schedule of fees permitted under sections 36a-580 to 36a-589, inclusive. The sum of any payment made by an employee or by an employer on behalf of the employee to a licensee of a limited facility for cashing payroll checks shall not exceed the percentage limitation for maximum fees established by the commissioner in regulations adopted pursuant to this section.
