SB 28 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

COMMERCIAL REGULATIONS: Provides relative to the licensing and regulation of virtual currency businesses. (8/1/24)

This bill repeals the 2023 law that established rules for licensing and regulating virtual currency businesses in Louisiana. By removing those specific regulations, it effectively eliminates the current legal framework governing cryptocurrency companies in the state. The legislation does not create new rules but instead undoes previous requirements that businesses had to follow.
