S 4153: Relates to prohibiting food stores and retail establishments from refusing to accept payment in cash

This bill prohibits food stores and retail establishments from refusing cash payments for in-person purchases. It requires businesses to accept all U.S. coins and currency (excluding foreign money or checks), bans charging more for cash payments than card payments, and allows exceptions for bills over $20 or remote transactions. Violations carry civil penalties of up to $1,500 per offense, with specific requirements for cash-to-prepaid card devices (free, no minimum deposit, no expiration). The law directly affects retailers selling consumer goods or food on-site, ensuring cash remains a valid payment method without surcharges.
