Lawmakers in the State of Washington passed a revised version of SB 6065 establishing a blockchain working group. Members of the state legislature introduced the original version of SB 6065 in 2019, but the governor later vetoed that version in April 2020. (Original Bill)
The revised bill creates a working group that includes various government officials and industry leaders who will “submit a report on recommended policies that will facilitate the development of blockchain applications in Washington to the governor and the appropriate committees of the legislature by December 1, 2023.” (Passed Bill)
