Svmuu News: New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte signed House Bill 639 into law last week. Known as the “Blockchain Basic Laws,” the bill provides protections for cryptocurrency innovation and use in the state and allows for the establishment of a special blockchain dispute docket in the Superior Court. Last year, New Hampshire passed a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, allowing the state treasurer to invest up to 5% of public funds in Bitcoin, as well as precious metals such as gold and silver. Last week, the state’s Executive Council vetoed a proposal that would have allowed the New Hampshire Business Finance Authority to issue Bitcoin-backed municipal bonds. (Decrypt).
