The bill seeks to regulate virtual currency kiosk transactions, requiring operators to have a money transmission license, provide detailed reports, and disclose terms and risks to users. Operators need to establish anti-fraud policies, use blockchain analytics, and post warnings on potential fraud. Additionally, user identification, transaction limits, and customer service requirements are specified. Violations can result in penalties, including seizures and forfeiture of fees. The bill also emphasizes local and law enforcement access, as well as annual staff training. Municipal ordinances offering greater protections are not preempted. Finally, new definitions relating to virtual currency and regulations are introduced. The effective date of the bill is set for October 1, 2026.
