New Hampshire lawmakers have delayed approval of House Bill 639, which would make cryptocurrency mining easier throughout the state. According to TradingView, the Senate Commerce Committee voted four to two to send the proposal for further study after receiving an unprecedented volume of public comments expressing concerns about energy use.
House Bill 639 aims to prevent local governments from restricting how much power crypto miners can use or how loud these operations can be. The legislation would also block local authorities from charging special taxes on digital asset mining operations.
Republican Rep. Keith Ammon, the bill's sponsor, said the goal promotes innovation and secures the right to mine crypto within New Hampshire.
However, the Senate Commerce Committee deadlocked twice before voting to delay the decision.
