Missouri lawmakers are going to pass a law to protect mining
Under the provisions of the Missouri Digital Asset Mining Protection Bill, state and political subdivisions must be prohibited from preventing digital asset mining nodes from launching at home. The bill limits the prohibitions the state will be able to impose on mining companies.
According to the bill's proponents, legal support for mining in Missouri would protect cryptocurrency mining businesses by ensuring that the state only imposes requirements on regulated data centers, without allowing state regulators to unilaterally change mining zoning requirements, without "adequate notice to all interested parties."
Since the beginning of the year, lawmakers in three U.S. states at once, Missouri, Mississippi and Montana, have approved bills in one form or another that support the cryptocurrency industry and legalize crypto mining in the home, while allowing mining companies to operate in zones approved for industrial use.
