TO AUTHORIZE THE INTRODUCTION OF A NONAPPROPRIATION BILL TO REQUIRE A DIGITAL ASSET MINING BUSINESS TO PAY A FEE FOR EXTRAORDINARY ELECTRICAL ENERGY USAGE AND TO IMPLEMENT OVERSIGHT PROCEDURES.

Summary

The resolution would let a senator introduce legislation that adds a fee schedule for digital‑asset mining businesses based on how much electricity they consume, requires annual usage estimates and reporting, and creates penalties for false statements. It targets companies that operate blockchain or crypto‑mining equipment and is intended to offset extraordinary energy costs and improve state monitoring. The resolution itself did not impose any fees and died in committee.
