60 / 90 · methodology full_text_v3
The Common Cents Act aims to cease the production of the penny and implement a rounding system for cash transactions. The bill is straightforward in its objectives and provides exceptions for numismatic collectors and non-cash transactions. It lacks detailed enforcement mechanisms and fiscal analysis.
Structural flags
⚑ No enforcement or oversight — imposes duties but names no enforcement or oversight mechanism
