Divides deepen in the New Hampshire Senate, stalling bill to ease cryptocurrency mining regulations.
On November 1st, according to Cointelegraph, the New Hampshire Senate Commerce Committee voted on a bill aimed at relaxing cryptocurrency mining regulations on Thursday, but the vote resulted in a deadlock due to differences in opinion. Several senators stated that public feedback on the bill has significantly increased since the last debate. The committee was deadlocked in two votes to advance or reject the bill, ultimately deciding by a vote of 4 to 2 to refer the proposal for "interim study" for further review. The proposal, known as House Bill 639, aims to prohibit municipal officials from imposing restrictions on cryptocurrency mining activities, such as regulations on electricity or noise; it also prohibits state or local governments from levying special taxes on digital assets.
