Rep. Heather Scott Introduces Solari’s Model Legislation in Idaho

We are excited to share that Rep. Scott is introducing Solari’s model legislation addressing programmable money, the Consumer Payments Rights and Transparency Act. This is a significant step forward in protecting citizens from digital money systems.

Ohio Alert: CASH Act Introduced

For those living in Ohio, we want to bring your attention to a bill introduced by Representative David Thomas (R-Jefferson).

The CASH (Currency Access to Spend Here) Act, H.B. 554, is designed to ensure that Ohioans retain the right to use cash at both private businesses and government entities. The bill responds to constituent concerns about offices and businesses refusing to accept cash payments.

H.B. 554 would:
• Require any government entity, for transactions of $500 or less, to accept cash when offered as payment and prohibit charging higher prices to those paying in cash.
• Require retailers to accept cash for transactions of $500 or less and to provide at least one point-of-sale station that accepts cash.

You can read more about the bill here:

If you live in Ohio, please consider calling your representatives to express support for this bill.

This Week’s Cash Challenge Action

As you continue using cash whenever possible, take a moment to share these legislative efforts with friends and family. Progress in one state inspires progress in others, and every voice helps.
