AN ACT RELATING TO STATE AFFAIRS AND GOVERNMENT -- DIGITAL ASSET KEYS--PROHIBITION OF PRODUCTION OF PRIVATE KEYS

Maddy summarySB 375 prohibits courts or authorities from forcing individuals to hand over private keys that control access to digital assets (like cryptocurrency) or digital identities. The law only allows forced disclosure if a public key is unavailable to access the asset, as specified in Section 42-64.35-4. This directly affects digital asset owners and users involved in legal proceedings within the state, preventing compelled production of their cryptographic keys. The bill takes effect upon passage and creates a clear legal barrier against such demands.
