Michigan has become the latest to join the race to create an encrypted currency reserves at the state level.
Home Law Bill 4087 He looks forward to amending the Management and Budget Law of 1984 (PA 431) by amending section 351 and adding section 351A, allowing the treasury secretary in the state to use public funds to invest in encrypted currency.
The draft law was presented to the House of Representatives in Michigan on February 13 by actors Brian Potomos and Ron Robinson and will be reviewed first by the Communications and Technology Committee.
If approved, it will be directed to the House of Representatives Hall to vote before moving to the Senate for more study. If both rooms are approved, this requires the ruler’s signature to become a law.
What is Bill Bill 4087?
The bill will allow, if signed, to become a law, to the Secretary of the State Fund to allocate up to 10 % of both the General Fund and the Economic Stability Fund towards encrypted currency investments.
These investments must be held through a “safe nursery solution”, “qualified guardian” or “trading product for exchange” from an organized investment company.
The draft law also requires that any taxes or payment fees to the state in the cryptocurrency be transferred to Fiat currency and deposit it in the General Fund.
If these funds are for a different country, the treasurer must compensate the correct fund in the currency of Fiat.
A clause in the draft law opens the door to lending encryption, allowing the state to lend to cryptocurrencies to earn returns – as long as it does not add financial risks.
“If it is possible to loan the cryptocurrency without increasing the financial risks to this state, the treasury secretary in the state is allowed to loan the encoded currency to give more return to this country through the rules issued by the government treasurer,” and he reads an excerpt from HB 4087.
However, it should be noted that the draft law is not specifically mentioned.
This is the approach that has also been followed by a number of other countries currently studying similar bills.
