Daycare tuition payment
My daycare recently informed all of their parents that the only option to now pay tuition would be to have it directly taken out of your bank account. They will no longer accept cash, check or money order and if you do not authorize them to remove the weekly payment from your bank account, your child will not longer be able to attend the facility. Is there a law against this?

No, there is no law against this. Every business is free to set any rules it wants for payment, and can require (or refuse/prohibit) cash, credit cards, checks, money orders, electronic funds transfers, etc.--it's entirely up to what the business (the daycare) wants.
