Maura Healey reminds businesses it remains illegal to refuse cash over coronavirus fears.

from Boaston.com. - Across the country, stores have recently begun refusing — or at least strongly discouraging — the use of cash due to fears that paper money could be a vector of the coronavirus.

And while Maura Healey says she understands the need to take “extra precautions” in the midst of the pandemic, the Massachusetts attorney general issued a reminder Wednesday to local businesses.

“It’s illegal to refuse cash in Massachusetts,” Healey tweeted. “Businesses should take thoughtful measures to keep their employees and consumers safe, but let’s keep our economy open to everyone.”

  1. You can't use cash to register a boat or obtain a boat title in Massachusetts. Check or credit card only. What a bunch of hypocrites.
