HB4060

West Virginia HB4060 mandates businesses to accept cash as payment, prohibiting discrimination against cash buyers.

West Virginia HB4060 requires retail mercantile establishments and other businesses to accept cash as a form of payment for goods and services. The bill prohibits businesses from requiring the use of credit or debit cards or electronic payment devices when cash is offered. Exemptions may be granted based on criteria such as the nature of the establishment, the goods or services, the denomination of currency, or the transaction amount. The West Virginia Treasurer's Office can create regulations to implement this requirement. Violations are punishable by a fine up to $500.
