A bill requiring Iowa public schools to accept cash as payment for tickets to sporting events has been approved by the Iowa House and Senate. The bill was introduced in response to complaints from parents and grandparents who were turned away for paying with cash. While some schools prefer credit card payments to reduce risk and staffing, the bill ensures that cash payments are still accepted. The decision to accept cash should be left up to each school, according to Representative Elinor Levin, who voted against the bill. The bill now awaits the governor’s signature after final approval in the House.
