Monitor changes
Passing a federal framework is not the end of the story. Presidential action, an effective date, agency guidance, and state or local requirements can all still move after Congress finishes its part. This page explains what to keep watching.

Where things stand today
H.R. 10167 has passed congress. Next step: Presidential action. Primary source Last verified 2026-09-29 against the bill's page on Congress.gov. Centsless does not describe this bill as enacted or in force unless that status is verified from an authoritative federal source. Centsless analysis
What could still change
- Presidential action. The bill becomes law only if signed, or otherwise allowed to become law without a signature under constitutional procedure. Centsless analysis
- Effective date. Enactment and the date a law actually takes effect are frequently different dates. Centsless analysis
- Agency guidance. Federal agencies may issue implementing guidance after enactment that clarifies application details not spelled out in the bill text. Centsless analysis
- State and local requirements. The federal safe harbor in Section 4 protects adherence to the federal method; it does not state that all other state or local rules are displaced. Primary source Tax treatment, receipt and disclosure rules, and consumer-protection requirements may continue to apply separately. See the federal standard page. Centsless analysis
- POS provider updates. Vendors may change how their rounding features work as the federal framework firms up. See POS Readiness. Implementation consideration
How to keep watching
Centsless tracks the federal status, state-by-state considerations, and POS documentation as they update. A review schedule in the internal policy, see Document the Policy, is a reasonable place to build in a recurring check against these sources.
