ChainCatcher reports that, according to Cointelegraph, the New Hampshire Senate Commerce Committee voted on a bill aimed at relaxing regulations on cryptocurrency mining on Thursday, but the vote stalled due to a divided result. Several senators stated that public feedback on the bill has increased significantly since the last debate.
The committee reached a deadlock in both the votes to advance and the vote to reject the bill, and ultimately decided by a 4-2 vote to send the bill to a “midterm study” for further review.
This proposal, known as House Bill 639, aims to prohibit municipalities 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.
