An Act amending the act of December 17, 1968 (P.L.1224, No.387), known as the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law, further providing for definitions.

HB 127 amends Pennsylvania's Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law to require businesses to accept cash payments for in-person retail transactions under $500. This directly affects Pennsylvania retailers (like stores and service providers) and consumers who pay with cash for qualifying purchases. The bill defines refusing such cash payments as an unfair or deceptive practice, unless the business has a visible written policy stating it won't accept cash above a specific denomination (e.g., $100 bills) and posts this policy before the transaction. Exceptions allow businesses to set high-denomination cash limits if properly disclosed, but they cannot refuse cash outright for transactions under $500.
