Bill > HF3607

This bill, titled "Retail establishments required to accept cash as payment," aims to protect consumers by mandating that all retail establishments in Minnesota must accept cash as a form of payment for goods and services. The bill defines "cash" as physical United States currency, including both paper money and coins, and clarifies that a "retail establishment" is any business open to the public that sells goods or services. This new requirement, which will be codified in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 325F, is set to take effect on August 1, 2026, and will apply to all sales occurring on or after that date.
