This bill requires businesses and state/local government agencies to accept cash as payment when customers pay in person and request it, with limited exceptions for banks, security deposits, and airline purchases. It defines "cash" as physical coins and currency that are legal U.S. tender. The change ensures that people without credit cards or those who prefer cash can still complete in-person transactions.
