AI Summary
This bill amends the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law to prohibit retailers from refusing to accept cash payments for goods or services under $500 when the purchaser is physically present at the point of sale. The only exception is if the retailer has a written policy, posted conspicuously, that it will not accept currency exceeding a certain denomination. This change aims to ensure consumers have the option to use cash for small retail transactions.
