Adjusting the price of a cash transaction to eliminate the need for pennies.

Summary

The bill adds new sections to Washington’s RCW that force any transaction paid with cash to be rounded to the nearest multiple of five cents. Prices ending in 1, 2, 6 or 7 cents are rounded down; those ending in 3, 4, 8 or 9 cents are rounded up. It does not affect purchases made with cards, checks, electronic transfers or other non‑cash payment methods.
