Resolution would authorize a bill restricting foreign-linked mining technology

The proposed bill would bar mining businesses and miners from using covered computers or software for digital asset mining. The proposed ban would cover business and home digital asset mining. Covered entities include certain listed parties, parties based in China or Russia, parties controlled by those governments, and their subsidiaries or affiliates. A first conviction would be a Class A misdemeanor. A second or later conviction would be a Class D felony. The resolution would authorize introducing the bill; it would not itself put the proposed ban into effect.
