United States of America: Rejected Digital Asset Mining Act (SB 2603)

On 10 March 2023, the Mississippi Digital Asset Mining Act (SB 2603) was rejected after failing to pass before the expiry of the legislative session. The Act would also have created a Mississippi Digital Asset Mining Council comprising representatives appointed by the Governor, the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House, members of the public, government officials, and a representative of an environmental non-profit organisation. The Council would have been tasked with evaluating the impact of digital asset mining on the state's economy, environment, and power grid.
