Bill overview
The Payment Choice Act of 2025 aims to ensure that businesses accepting in-person payments can continue to use cash. It requires retail stores with sales under $500 to accept cash payments, preventing them from charging higher prices to customers paying with cash. The bill includes exceptions for temporary payment system issues and allows businesses to offer prepaid cards with certain conditions, and it establishes a process for enforcing these rules through potential lawsuits and penalties. It also includes a provision regarding accepting larger bills for a limited time.
