What this amendment would do
Mr. Cruz submitted amendment SA 2286 to the bill S. 1582, which is about regulating payment stablecoins. The text was ordered to lie on the table.
What the Amendment Aims to Do
The amendment aims to add a new section that prohibits certain government offices from stopping folks from handling their own business. Specifically, it stops offices like the Department of the Treasury and federal banking agencies from banning, restricting, or messing with a person's ability to carry out a transaction.
For this protection to apply, the transaction must meet two rules:
- It must be for that person's own and otherwise lawful purposes.
- It must use self-custodial software or hardware.
