Maddy summaryThis bill allows cash transactions in Alabama to be rounded to the nearest five cents, affecting businesses and consumers who use physical currency for purchases. The rounding follows specific rules based on the final digit of the transaction amount, with no changes to sales prices, taxes, or fees. It applies only to in-person cash payments and excludes electronic payments, checks, and transactions with government entities. The Department of Revenue must post a notice on its website about this new authorization, which takes effect immediately upon passage.
