Relating to the formation of decentralized unincorporated nonprofit associations and the use of distributed ledger or blockchain technology for certain business purposes; authorizing fees.

HB 4518 establishes a legal framework for decentralized unincorporated nonprofit associations that use blockchain or distributed ledger technology for their operations. It defines key terms like "administrator," "governing principles," and "membership interest," requiring at least 100 members with mutual consent to form such associations under this chapter. The bill authorizes state fees for registration and specifies that these associations must operate under their own governing rules, separate from other nonprofit laws. This legislation directly affects nonprofits seeking to function using blockchain technology, providing them with a clear legal structure while avoiding traditional corporate incorporation.
