AI Summary

  • Requires sellers who do not use or have available one-cent coins to apply "Swedish rounding" to cash transaction totals, rounding to the nearest five-cent increment (1-2 cents rounds down, 3-4 cents rounds up, 6-7 cents rounds down, 8-9 cents rounds up).

  • Applies only to cash transactions after all taxes and fees are calculated; does not apply to credit cards, debit cards, electronic transfers, or mobile payments.

  • Mandates sellers post visible notice at point of sale stating "cash transactions are rounded to the nearest five-cent increment pursuant to state law."

  • Taxes and fees must still be calculated and remitted based on the pre-rounded sales price, and the Arizona Department of Agriculture's Weights and Measures Division will enforce the law with authority to issue warnings, orders, and civil penalties.

  • Declared an emergency measure operative immediately; does not invalidate any currency as legal tender or require acceptance/refusal of specific coin denominations.
