An Act amending Title 65 (Public Officers) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in ethics standards and financial disclosure, further providing for definitions, for restricted activities, for statement of financial interests and for penalties.

HB 1812 amends Pennsylvania's ethics laws to regulate public officials' financial interests in digital assets. It prohibits state officials and their immediate family from holding digital assets (including cryptocurrency, NFTs, and stablecoins) during their term of office or for one year after leaving office, requiring them to divest within 90 days if they hold such assets. Officials must also disclose any digital asset holdings exceeding $1,000 in their annual financial statements. Violating these rules carries a civil penalty of up to $50,000. The bill directly affects Pennsylvania state legislators, executive branch officials, and other public officers covered under Title 65.
