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

SB 230 requires physical retail stores to accept cash for in-person purchases at the point of sale, directly affecting businesses like grocery stores, pharmacies, and shops that operate from a physical location. The bill prohibits stores from refusing cash payments unless legally barred from accepting cash for specific goods or services. Violations would result in fines ranging from $200 to $5,000 per incident, enforceable by the department or district attorneys through civil penalties or court injunctions. This law applies only to face-to-face transactions at physical store locations, not online or phone sales.
