Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.

Public agencies may round cash totals

State and local agencies may round in‑person cash payments to the nearest 5 cents using the same digit rule: 1, 2, 6, 7 down; 3, 4, 8, 9 up; 0 or 5 no change. You can avoid rounding by paying exact cash. In mixed payments, if card comes first and cash covers the rest, only the cash part rounds; if cash comes first, no rounding. Agencies must apply the policy the same way, post signs at locations that take payments, and publicize any changes. These rules do not apply to phone, mail, or internet payments.

Stores may round cash totals

Stores in Oregon may round in‑person cash totals to the nearest 5 cents. They use this rule: 1, 2, 6, 7 round down; 3, 4, 8, 9 round up; 0 or 5 stay the same. If you pay exact change in cash, there is no rounding. In mixed payments, if cash comes after a card, only the cash part rounds; if cash comes first, no rounding. The policy must be used the same way for all sales and signs must explain it at the store. Rounding under these rules is allowed by law and shields the business from certain claims. These rules do not apply to phone, mail, or internet sales.

Venues can require cash to card

Stores and event venues can require you to turn cash into a token, card, or wristband to buy things at some counters. They cannot charge a fee to load the card or token. They also cannot charge a fee to refund any leftover balance. Venues may set up special points of sale to do the conversion.
