This resolution calls on the federal government to ensure that cash is accepted at all points of service, emphasizing the importance of cash as legal tender under U.S. law. It references the U.S. Constitution and various legal statutes that affirm the status of U.S. coins and currency as valid for all debts and transactions. The resolution highlights concerns about the implications of not accepting cash, including potential threats to the credibility of the currency, privacy issues related to electronic transactions, and the imposition of convenience fees for digital payments at federal facilities.
Furthermore, the resolution mandates that all federal agencies and their subcontractors operating in federal spaces, such as national parks and museums, must accept cash payments. It also directs that copies of the resolution be sent to relevant state and federal officials, including the New Hampshire governor and congressional delegation, as well as directors of national parks and museums, to encourage similar actions and awareness regarding the acceptance of cash.
