MINOR

The bill was amended to add a formal legal definition for 'cash' and to update the rounding rules to apply specifically to cash transactions rather than all consumer sales. The changes clarify that rounding does not apply to noncash payments or mixed-tender transactions where cash is not the primary method of payment.

Scope change

The scope of the rounding provision was narrowed to explicitly apply only to cash transactions, excluding electronic funds transfers, checks, gift cards, and mixed-tender scenarios.

DEFINITION

Added a specific definition for 'cash' referencing 12 U.S.C. s. 4001 to ensure legal clarity.

ELIGIBILITY

Updated the rounding methodology to explicitly state it applies only to cash transactions and excludes noncash payment methods.

REQUIREMENT

Revised the text to clarify that rounding does not alter the sales price, tax amounts, or fees, and may apply to the transaction total or the change tendered.
