TO AUTHORIZE THE INTRODUCTION OF A NONAPPROPRIATION BILL TO REQUIRE A DIGITAL ASSET MINING BUSINESS TO PROVIDE NOTIFICATION BEFORE PURCHASING LAND OR A BUILDING OR BEGINNING CONSTRUCTION OF A DIGITAL ASSET MINING FACILITY.

This bill is a procedural resolution that authorizes a Senator to introduce legislation requiring digital asset mining businesses to notify state and local officials before acquiring land or starting construction of mining facilities. The proposed law would mandate that these companies file a written notice with the Arkansas Public Service Commission and the relevant local government at least six months prior to purchasing, leasing, or beginning work on a site. This requirement aims to ensure transparency and allow authorities time to review planned developments before they proceed. Because the resolution failed to pass in the House, it does not become law and has no immediate effect.
