Bill > B23-0122

This bill, the Cashless Retailers Prohibition Act of 2020, prohibits retail establishments in the District of Columbia from discriminating against cash as a form of payment. Specifically, it bars retailers from refusing to accept cash, posting signs that cash is not accepted, or charging higher prices for cash payments. The bill includes some exceptions, such as for retail sales made via mail, phone, or internet, and for parking facilities and food stores/retail establishments that provide a device to convert cash into a prepaid card without fees or minimum deposits. The bill will take effect following approval by the Mayor, a period of congressional review, and publication in the District of Columbia Register.
