No more pennies-rounding cash payments.
HB 71 allows businesses to round cash payments to the nearest five cents when exact change isn't available due to missing pennies. It specifies that payments ending in 1¢, 2¢, 6¢, or 7¢ must round down, while those ending in 3¢, 4¢, 8¢, or 9¢ round up - except exact 1¢ or 2¢ amounts, which round up to 5¢. Businesses must display a sign about rounding, and rounding applies only to cash payments (not credit/debit), with taxes added before rounding. The bill takes effect July 1, 2026, and does not override federal rounding rules for SNAP purchases.
