Bill Summary
AN ACT TO PROHIBIT RETAIL BUSINESSES AND HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS FROM REFUSING CASH PAYMENTS.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Cash Commitment Act, aims to ensure that consumers have the right to use cash for in-person payments at retail businesses and healthcare providers. It prohibits these establishments from refusing cash payments, and they cannot charge cash-paying customers a higher price compared to customers using other payment methods. The bill outlines several exceptions, such as when a business is unable to accept cash due to a system failure or lack of change, or when goods are sold from a vending machine or through delivery. The Secretary of Commerce is granted rulemaking authority and the ability to impose civil penalties of up to $500 per violation for non-compliance. The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2023.
