[New Hampshire Senate Temporarily Halts Progress on Crypto Mining Regulation Relaxation Bill]
On November 1, the New Hampshire Senate Commerce Committee voted on House Bill 639, which aims to relax regulations on cryptocurrency mining. However, the vote ended in a deadlock due to divided opinions. The bill seeks to prohibit municipal authorities from imposing restrictions on cryptocurrency mining activities and to ban state or local governments from levying special taxes on digital assets. Ultimately, the committee decided, with a vote of 4 to 2, to send the bill for interim study for further review. Several senators noted that public feedback on the bill has significantly increased since the last debate.
