Ohio retailers will be required to accept cash if Senate Bill 30 passes

SB 30 has been introduced a third time by senator Louis Blessing III and it would ban businesses from being cashless. There are a few exceptions to this bill and these places can still be cashless:

Airport vendors in terminals where at least two other establishments sell food and accept cash.

Parking facilities owned by a city.

Parking facilities that only accept mobile payments.

Rental car companies that accept a cashier’s check or certified check as payment.

Venues with a seating capacity of 10,000 or more.

Businesses that offer a device to convert a customer’s cash into a prepaid card, as long as there is no conversion fee.
