The proposed bill mandates that all government entities in Wyoming must accept cash as a form of payment for in-person transactions, including fees, fines, taxes, and charges, as well as for admission to government-sponsored events. Additionally, it prohibits these entities from charging any extra fees specifically for cash payments, although they may still collect fees that are otherwise authorized by law, regardless of the payment method. The bill defines "government entity" to include various levels of state and local government, as well as public educational institutions, and specifies that "cash" refers to physical coins and notes issued by the U.S. government.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that it does not alter or affect any existing contracts or obligations related to payment. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2026.
