Entertainment Establishment Employee Safety Extension Temporary Amendment Act of 2025

This bill allows certain retail establishments and restaurants in D.C. to refuse cash payments, provided they display clear notice at the entrance or on menus. It specifically applies to retail businesses with Class C or D licenses and restaurants operating 24 hours daily or open at 3 a.m. on at least two days weekly. The policy requires written notice to customers about the cash refusal but does not mandate it for all businesses. The change is temporary, taking effect October 18, 2025, and expires 225 days after implementation. It amends existing D.C. code to permit this payment restriction without requiring cash acceptance for these specific venues.
