An Act relative to discrimination against cash buyers

This bill prohibits retail and service businesses in Massachusetts from forcing customers to use electronic payment methods instead of cash. It directly affects any establishment that currently requires a cash deposit into a debit or credit card to complete a purchase. The law mandates that all businesses must accept cash for any transaction, removing the ability to discriminate against buyers who prefer to pay with physical currency. This change ensures that cash remains a valid form of payment across the state without altering other existing financial regulations.
