An Act relative to consumer protections for low valued legal tender scarcity

Summary

The bill amends Massachusetts law so that any transaction paid with cash is rounded to the nearest five‑cent increment. It rounds down when the cent total ends in 1, 2, 6, or 7 and rounds up when it ends in 3, 4, 8, or 9, with a special rule allowing $0.01 or $0.02 to be rounded up to $0.05. Payments made by check, card, gift card, money order or other non‑cash methods are exempt.
