An Act relating to rounding cash transactions to the nearest five cents.

HB 281 requires businesses processing cash transactions to round totals to the nearest five cents using specific rules: totals ending in 1-2 or 6-7 cents round down, while those ending in 3-4 or 8-9 cents round up. It directly affects retailers, restaurants, and other businesses that handle cash payments for goods or services. The bill excludes electronic payments (like credit cards or debit) and clarifies that rounding does not impact state or local tax calculations. This policy change standardizes cash rounding practices for in-person transactions only.
