The bill H. 4617 proposes an amendment to the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding a new section, 34-31-30. This section mandates that merchants in South Carolina who are unable to provide exact change to customers must round the transaction amount either up or down to the nearest nickel.

The bill aims to simplify transactions for both merchants and customers by establishing a clear guideline for handling situations where exact change cannot be given. If enacted, this law would take effect upon approval by the Governor.
