Relating to: requiring retail sellers to accept cash and providing a penalty. (FE)

AB 230 requires physical retail stores to accept cash payments during face-to-face transactions with customers. It directly affects brick-and-mortar businesses selling goods or services in person, unless other laws prohibit cash acceptance. Retailers violating this rule face fines of $200 to $5,000 per violation, or court-ordered injunctions to stop the violation. The law does not apply to online sales or situations where cash acceptance is legally restricted.
