This bill requires state agencies, their contractors, and subcontractors to accept cash payments for any payment administered or collected by the department. The bill specifies that no additional fees or fines shall be assessed on cash payments made in full. The purpose of this bill is to ensure that individuals have the option to pay in cash and to prevent any additional charges for cash payments.

The fiscal impact of this bill is indeterminable due to limited information on agencies currently accepting cash, transaction volumes, and existing infrastructure. The Department of Administrative Services cannot estimate the bill's fiscal impact or the changes in state expenditures. However, the bill does not provide sufficient funding to cover the expected costs for agencies that currently don't accept cash, which may require changes or new positions. While there might be an increase in revenue due to the mandated acceptance of cash payments, this increase may be partially offset by the absence of fees or fines imposed on complete cash payments. The fiscal impact is not expected to occur until FY 2025.
