AI Summary

This bill establishes rules for rounding cash transactions to the nearest nickel if the penny is no longer in production, requiring businesses that accept cash to round the total amount to the nearest five-cent increment when exact change is unavailable. Specifically, amounts ending in $0.01 or $0.02 would be rounded down, $0.03 or $0.04 rounded up, $0.05 or $0.06 rounded down, and $0.07 or $0.08 rounded up, with the hundredths place determining the final cent. This rounding rule does not apply to electronic transactions or the calculation of sales tax, which must still be calculated to the penny, though it does apply to the cash portion of mixed-tender transactions and to public entities collecting taxes, fees, or surcharges.
