Tennessee lawmakers are trying to remove cryptocurrency investments from public retirement funds. Currently, there are two bills in motion heading into the Senate’s full chamber, and the state’s House of Representatives — Both of which are nearly identical, asking the Senate and House members to consider barring digital assets from state-operated benefits. Last Tuesday’s bill was proposed by Senator Bill Ketron while the House bill was sponsored by Representative Michael Curcio.
The proposals aim to change the Tennessee code, and particularly how trustees can invest by amending “Title 8, Chapter 27, Part 8” and adding a new definition. The new guidelines would bar the state’s retirement agencies and trustees from partaking in investing in digital currencies. The code states:
Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the trustees shall not invest in any cryptocurrency.
Essentially trustees are prohibited from any defined contribution plan or investment that can be tied to cryptocurrencies. This includes any related benefits and insurances. Curcio’s HB2093 is headed to the Ways and Means subcommittee on March 14 while Ketron’s SB2508 is recommended for passage to the Senate Calendar Committee.
The proposed legislation follows a Nashville lawmaker’s bill that legally recognizes blockchain transactions and digital signatures in a court of law alongside smart contracts. The democrat representative Jason Powell explains that “it is really important to say that Tennessee is supportive of this technology and we want to be a leader in this innovation.” Senator Ketron and Representative Curcio’s proposed laws show a different side of Tennessee allowing innovation to thrive.
