Senate Approves Separate Measures on Penny Phaseout and College Athletics
By Rhyter Times Desk · 49m ago
Recent activity in the Senate resulted in the passage of two separate legislative proposals addressing retail currency and collegiate athletics, according to reporting from Payments Dive and Fox Sports.
According to Payments Dive, the chamber approved the Common Cents bill, a measure that outlines a cash rounding system for businesses and formally phases out the one-cent coin. The currency legislation has now advanced to the White House.
In a separate vote, the Senate overwhelmingly passed a broad bipartisan bill aimed at regulating college athletics, Fox Sports reports. That proposal, which addresses athlete compensation and transfer rules, now moves to the House of Representatives for consideration.
