Committee to study blockchain and cryptocurrency regulation, review SB 21 implementation
Summary
The committee listed a charge to evaluate blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, federal coordination, virtual currency kiosks, and to review implementation of Senate Bill 21 (89th Legislature); invited testimony was opened but the minutes provided no witness excerpts.
The minutes record an interim charge directing the committee to "Evaluate the future of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency in the state of Texas and assess Texas’ coordination with federal rules." The charge also directs the committee to examine virtual currency kiosks and to review implementation of Senate Bill 21 from the 89th Legislature. Senator Charles Schwertner presented the charges and opened invited testimony.
The supplied minutes do not include testimony details or staff presentations; they record the committee's directive and that invited testimony was taken during the hearing. No votes or policy decisions on SB 21 are recorded in the segments provided.
