Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders is expected to sign the bills into law, which will regulate miners’ noise, water use and licensing.
Two bills regulating crypto mining in the American state of Arkansas have fully passed the state’s House of Representatives and are heading to the Governor’s office — the last step before they become law.
On May 1, the Arkansas House of Representatives passed Senate Bills 78 and 79 to restrict certain activities relating to cryptocurrency mining in the state, according to reports.
Senate Bill 78 imposes noise limits on crypto mining farms, regulates water use for cooling, prohibits mining operations from being owned by foreign entities and restores local government control over their regulation.
