SB 590 requires Tennessee's election finance registry to report by September 1, 2025, on digital currency contributions to political candidates and campaign committees over the previous five years. The report must be submitted to the Senate and House speakers, legislative librarian, and budget analysis office. This bill directly affects campaign committees and candidates receiving digital currency donations, mandating a formal review of this emerging funding source. It does not change campaign finance rules but establishes a data-gathering requirement for legislative oversight. The bill amends several Tennessee Code sections to implement this reporting obligation.
