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

This bill prohibits retail stores experiencing a coin shortage from charging customers extra for paying with cash. It specifically applies to in-person transactions (excluding online or phone sales) and bans retailers from imposing higher prices for cash payments during such shortages. Violations would be treated as consumer fraud under New Jersey law, potentially leading to fines up to $20,000 per offense. The law aims to prevent businesses from unfairly penalizing cash users when coin supplies are low.
