Prohibits person experiencing coin shortage from charging consumers higher price for cash payment.

This New Jersey bill (A2068) prohibits retailers from charging higher prices for cash payments when they experience a coin shortage. It specifically applies to in-person retail transactions, excluding phone or online sales, and prevents businesses from discriminating against customers who pay with cash. Violations would be treated as unlawful under the state's consumer fraud law, potentially resulting in fines up to $20,000 for repeat offenses. The law aims to ensure cash remains a fair payment option during supply disruptions.
