What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires a retailer who sells goods or services from a physical location

to accept cash as payment in a transaction amounting to $2,000 or less during a

face-to-face sale with a consumer, unless the person is otherwise prohibited by law

from accepting cash. A retailer who violates this requirement is subject to a civil

forfeiture of $200 to $5,000.
