Title: [2016-08-17] California Delays Efforts to Regulate Bitcoin Businesses
Post by: CrimBit on August 17, 2016, 12:03:03 AM
California's legislature has once again shelved a plan to regulate businesses in the digital currency industry.

Reintroduced after nearly a year of dormancy earlier this month, Assembly Bill 1326 has now been referred back to the state's Rules Committee and Banking and Finance Committee – effectively freezing its progress.

Word first emerged on Friday that the measure would be delayed, and a representative for the Banking and Finance Committee has since confirmed to CoinDesk it will not be heard in the legislature again this year.

She said:

    "It's being delayed for this year."

I guess they are still watching the tide of events, to see where the bitcoin tide falls and the best measures to take for the economy.
