A bill has been signed into law by Governor Lamont that prohibits retailers offering consumer goods and services from refusing to accept cash as a form of payment.  New Milford Representative Bill Buckbee and Danbury Representative Ken Gucker were among the co-sponsors of the bill.  Retailers also can't charge a higher price to customers who pay cash than those using another form of payment.  This does not apply to the rental of consumer goods, services or accommodations for which collateral or security is typically required.
