HB 737 Ohio House · 136th Legislature (2025-2026)

Require cash payments to the government be rounded to a nickel

HB 737 requires that cash payments to state and local governments be rounded to the nearest nickel. This applies to taxes, tolls, fees, fines, and other charges paid in cash to the state, state agencies, or political subdivisions like counties and municipalities. The bill specifies exact rounding rules based on the second decimal place, such as rounding amounts ending in 1 or 2 down to the nearest nickel or dime. Merchants who accept cash payments may also round transaction totals to the nearest nickel without legal liability, and any tax adjustments from rounding would be handled proportionally between the state and local governments.
