Requires retail businesses to accept cash as payment

Summary

The bill would make it unlawful for retail businesses to refuse United States currency when selling goods or services. It applies to most retailers but excludes self‑service fuel pumps, transactions that require a credit‑card security deposit, cash‑to‑prepaid‑card conversions that meet certain conditions, banks, credit unions, and locations with multiple checkout points where at least one already accepts cash. Violations would be a Class D misdemeanor punishable by up to $500 per transaction.
