The Entertainment Establishment Employee Safety Extension Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 amends section 28-5404 of the District of Columbia Official Code to permit retail establishments with a valid on-premises Class C or Class D retailer license, as well as certain restaurants, to refuse cash payments. The bill specifies that these establishments must provide written and conspicuous notice to the public, displayed on the door or menu, indicating that cash payments are not accepted. The new provisions include a definition of eligible restaurants that operate either 24 hours a day or at least two days a week until 3:00 am.

The amendments involve specific changes to existing legal language, including the deletion of certain phrases and the addition of a new paragraph that outlines the conditions under which cash payments can be refused. The act is set to take effect on October 18, 2025, following the Mayor's approval and a 30-day congressional review period, and it will expire 225 days after its effective date.
