An Act amending the act of July 6, 1984 (P.L.642, No.132), known as the Cash Consumer Protection Act, further providing for definitions and for refusal to provide property prohibited, providing for refusal to accept cash payment and further providing for injunctive relief, for civil penalties and for private actions.

SB 1005 amends the Cash Consumer Protection Act to prohibit businesses from refusing cash payments for goods or services, directly affecting retailers, service providers, and other businesses that accept payments. Key provisions require businesses to accept cash without discrimination, allow state enforcement through court orders to stop violations and impose fines, and permit consumers to file private lawsuits if denied cash. These changes clarify and strengthen the 1984 law to protect consumers' right to pay with cash. The bill aims to ensure cash remains a valid payment method without penalty.
