PresentationDiscussion

0:00 → 8:18(8m 18s)

Senator Johnson explained House Bill 15-96 as a companion to HB1625 focused on crypto kiosks, describing scams where callers instruct victims to deposit cash at crypto kiosks and transfer it to wallets they cannot recover; committee stripped substantive kiosk language and left code sections with a reverse repealer while working on a regulatory framework. Senator Johnson said kiosks are often located at fueling stations and estimated roughly "300 in the state, 300 ish." The committee moved and passed the measure as amended (title sufficient, do pass).
