Bill > SB6230

This bill proposes to eliminate the need for pennies in cash transactions by rounding the total price to the nearest amount divisible by five cents. Specifically, if a total price ends in one, two, six, or seven cents, it will be rounded down, and if it ends in three, four, eight, or nine cents, it will be rounded up. This change applies only to purchases made with "legal tender," which means U.S. coins and currency, and does not affect transactions paid for by other methods like credit cards, debit cards, or checks. The bill also directs the relevant department to create rules for situations where cash is combined with other payment methods, and defines "total price" as the final amount due after taxes, fees, and discounts, and "transaction" as the complete purchase from a seller on a given date.
