SCONRES 1 United States Senate · 118th Congress

ACCEPT Resolution

This concurrent resolution (SCONRES 1, the "ACCEPT Resolution") requires Capitol Complex food vendors, vending machines, and gift shops to accept cryptocurrency as payment. It directs the Architect of the Capitol, Senate Secretary, and House Chief Administrative Officer to contract with vendors enabling cryptocurrency transactions, while allowing them to skip this if cost-effective alternatives exist. The bill directly affects Capitol Complex food service contractors and gift shops, not the general public. It defines "digital assets" as crypto-based electronic assets recorded on secure ledgers but does not create new laws or tax policies.
