Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on April 19, 2024. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill requires the treasurer of state to issue specie and establish a transactional currency that are usable as legal tender and readily transferable. The bill permits the treasurer of state to contract with a private vendor to perform the treasurer of state’s duties and requires the treasurer of state to exclusively authorize an approved bullion depository as the state’s issuer of specie. The bill requires the treasurer of state to hold all specie and bullion owned or purchased for such purposes in trust for the transactional currency holders and to maintain enough specie or bullion to allow for the redemption of all units of the transactional currency issued.
