Bill Text
What changed in the latest version
57 added · 53 removedPlain-language change summary
In the latest version of Bill SB 330, a specific line was added clarifying the definition of "governmental agency” to include any board, commission, department, or other agency of the state or its subdivisions. Additionally, the new version reinforces that no governmental agency is allowed to accept central bank digital currency as payment. These changes are important because they help define who is affected by the ban and emphasize that state agencies will not be engaging with this form of currency, which could influence how digital currencies are used in the future.
