O projeto de lei foi inicialmente introduced on March 3rd by State Representative Giovani Capriglione.

In a nutshell, the bill ofertas to make the use of “cash, coin, bullion, digital currency, or privately issued script” for trading legal. The Texas House Bill HJR 146 reads:

The right of the people to own, hold, and use a mutually agreed upon medium of exchange, including cash, coin, bullion, digital currency, or privately issued scrip, when trading and contracting for goods and services shall not be infringed.

Durante a votação, 139 legislators voted in favor of the proposal, com two lawmakers voting against it.

Interestingly, the bill includes a rather pro-crypto statement:

No government shall prohibit or encumber the ownership or holding of any form or amount of money or other currency.

However, the Bill also includes some parts distinguished only to the state of Texas. For example, the right to possess and carry weapons for self-defense.

On May 11th, the founder of the Texas Constitutional Enforcement group, Tom Glass, revelou que there should be another House vote for the bill. If the bill passes all stages in the House, then it will be moved to the Senatee um public vote will be initiated.
