Bill > HR36

This resolution urges the federal government to ensure that all federal agencies and their subcontracted companies operating on federal facilities, parks, preserves, and offices accept United States legal tender (cash) as a form of payment. The resolution provides context by referencing constitutional and legal provisions, including Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution, the Gold Clause Repeal of 1933, and 31 U.S. Code Section 5103, which establishes that U.S. coins and currency are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues. The resolution highlights concerns about practices that may undermine the credibility of U.S. currency, such as charging "convenience fees" for electronic transactions and not accepting cash payments at certain facilities like National Park Service locations. By mandating cash acceptance, the resolution aims to protect citizens' right to use physical currency and ensure that government services remain accessible to all individuals, regardless of their preferred payment method.
