TO AUTHORIZE THE INTRODUCTION OF A NONAPPROPRIATION BILL TO PROHIBIT THE USE OF A COMPUTER MANUFACTURED BY A COVERED FOREIGN ENTITY IN DIGITAL ASSET MINING AND PROHIBIT THE USE OF CERTAIN SOFTWARE IN DIGITAL ASSET MINING.

Summary

The resolution would let a future bill forbid digital‑asset miners from using any computer made or assembled by a "covered foreign entity" or software created by such an entity. It targets miners in Arkansas and would penalize violations with a Class A misdemeanor for a first offense and a Class D felony for repeat offenses. The goal is to reduce reliance on hardware and code tied to foreign governments deemed a security risk.
