The bill establishes new rounding requirements for cash payments in commercial transactions in Wyoming, specifically when sellers cannot provide exact change due to the unavailability of pennies. Under the new law, cash payments that end in one or two cents will be rounded up to five cents, while amounts ending in three or four cents will be rounded up to the nearest five cents. Conversely, amounts ending in six or seven cents will be rounded down, and amounts that end in zero or five cents will remain unchanged. Additionally, sales tax will be calculated before rounding, and sellers must display a sign indicating that cash payments without exact change will be rounded.

The bill also amends existing definitions and duties related to the verification of prices and computations, explicitly including the rounding of cash transactions as outlined in the new section. It clarifies that rounding does not apply to credit, debit, or check payments, and that purchases made through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will only be rounded as necessary to comply with federal law. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2026.
