Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1984 PA 431, entitled"The management and budget act,"(MCL 18.1101 to 18.1594) by adding section 427.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Michigan Management and Budget Act by adding a new requirement that all state agencies must accept cash payments in addition to any other payment methods they currently use. Specifically, the bill mandates that when a person needs to make a payment to a state agency for any service or purpose, the agency cannot refuse cash as a valid form of payment. Moreover, the bill prohibits state agencies from imposing any extra fees or surcharges on individuals who choose to pay with cash. This provision aims to ensure that cash remains a universally accepted payment method for government services, potentially helping individuals who may not have access to alternative payment methods like credit cards or electronic payments, and preventing discrimination against those who prefer or only have cash available.
