Miami-Dade’s Commissioner René García has introduced an ordinance that would require businesses in the Floridian county to accept cash, saying its rejection damages minority communities and overall choice.

Many states including Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Rhode Island already have pro-cash legislation, as do cities including New York, Philadelphia and San Francisco. There is also support from both sides of the political aisle for nationwide legislation to defend the right to pay cash, but while this advances many areas are looking to introduce their own laws more rapidly.
