These signings will be joining other bills which were introduced in February of this year (2019) by legislators in the state of which were created to enhance the acceptance of blockchain and to proceed with the growth of financial technology and blockchain.
These other bills include:
*.SB161– Designs a regulatory sandbox for upcoming technologies companies using a program in the Department of Business and Industry.
*.SB162– Develops a meaning for “public blockchain” within Nevada Revised Statutes and needs government agencies to accept electronically certified documents, including those on a blockchain.
*.SB163– Allows businesses to keep and maintain corporate records on a blockchain.
