No to those two.

Possibly this could be viewed as somewhat similar to usury laws 
limiting interest.  So perhaps there could be some type of limits 
about the number of fees charged on a per-incident basis.

Definitely require credits to be applied first (isn't that 
normally done, anyway?)

The order of debits should either be in the order received, or 
smaller-to-larger.  If a bank deliberately applies the largest 
items first, then that suggests that they are specifically trying 
maximise the number of NSF items.
