TO AUTHORIZE THE INTRODUCTION OF A NONAPPROPRIATION BILL TO REGULATE THE IMPACT ON WATER USAGE AND THE ELECTRICAL GRID BY BLOCKCHAIN NETWORKS AND DIGITAL ASSET MINING.
Died in Senate at Sine Die adjournment.
Summary
The resolution permits Senator B. King to introduce legislation that would give the Natural Resources Commission authority to track water use by blockchain and digital‑asset mining operations and close them if usage is excessive. It also would let the Public Service Commission monitor the electric grid impact and order utilities to halt service to mining operations that threaten grid reliability. The measure amends the 2023 Data Centers Act and sets rulemaking deadlines for 2027.
