Bill > SF5282

This bill, titled "Retail establishments requirement to accept cash as payment," mandates that all retail establishments, defined as businesses open to the public for selling goods or services, must accept cash, meaning physical United States currency in the form of paper money or coins, as a form of payment from consumers for those 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, aiming to ensure that consumers have the option to pay with cash.
