AI Summary
This bill directs the Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI), a state agency responsible for enforcing labor laws in Oregon, to conduct a comprehensive study about penalties for violations of laws that require places of public accommodation (such as restaurants, stores, and entertainment venues) to accept cash or coins as a valid form of payment. Specifically, BOLI is tasked with researching the current penalties associated with refusing cash payments and preparing a detailed report to be submitted to the legislative committees focused on business and labor by September 15, 2026. The study may include potential recommendations for future legislation on this topic. The bill includes a sunset provision, meaning the study mandate will automatically expire on January 2, 2027, ensuring that this is a time-limited research initiative designed to provide insights into cash payment requirements and potential enforcement mechanisms.
