There were concerns from elected officials that such stores and eateries discriminated against poorer customers who don't have access to bank accounts, according to city councilman Ritchie Torres, who drafted the bill.
Online and phone purchases would also be exempt from the law, which fines first time violators $1,000.A spokeswoman for Mayor Bill de Blasio said he supports the bill. "The marketplace of the future must accommodate the needs of vulnerable New Yorkers," Torres said at a news conference before the vote.
Ok. Here are the rules if i previously had a cashless business: 1: exact cash only; no change given and 2: no more than 10 coins accepted in any payment.
It's ridiculous that a city even has to make a law about this!
This is a concession to Illegalimmigrants that may not be able to obtain a debit/credit card. Part of NYC's sanctuary city nonsense. The Globalists have to make this concession until they can figure a way for gov't to force the issuance of cards to those without a SSN.

This is because black and brown people are less likely to have credit/debit cards.
Isn’t that a federal law?
It's an armed robbers wet dream
