Requires most stores to accept cash for purchases up to $500 and stops them from charging cash users more.
This bill would make sure that most stores that take in-person payments accept cash for purchases up to $500. It would also stop them from charging people who pay with cash a higher price than those who use other methods. This means shoppers would always have the option to pay with physical money at these businesses.
Today, many retail businesses can choose not to accept cash or can charge different prices based on how you pay. If this bill becomes law, most businesses that accept in-person payments would have to accept cash for purchases up to $500 and could not charge cash customers more. This would ensure consumers always have the option to pay with physical money at these stores.
