TO AUTHORIZE THE INTRODUCTION OF A NONAPPROPRIATION BILL TO AMEND THE ARKANSAS DATA CENTERS ACT OF 2023 AND TO AMEND THE UNIFORM MONEY SERVICES ACT.

This bill authorizes the introduction of legislation to change how Arkansas regulates digital asset mining. It removes the current exemption that allows individuals and businesses mining cryptocurrency at home to operate without a money transmitter license. Under the proposed changes, anyone engaged in home or commercial digital asset mining would be required to obtain a license by September 1, 2026. The bill is currently a procedural resolution that died in committee and does not become law.
