This was what I came here for ;-) It's about time legislature gets something right and makes it simple.

*though I've never seen the term "Dark Fantasy" used in a piece of legislation before ;-)

The first headline is outright wrong.  The legislation doesn't make crypto-currency "legal tender" (that has a very specific legal meaning).

What's going to be interesting now that it's explicitly lawful for alternative currencies to be used is to see what kinds of conditions are imposed on issuers (this legislation covers more than just crypto-currencies) and financial services handling these currencies (because they weren't previously recognised as "currencies", some financial services regulations weren't previously applied in this sector - that will almost certainly change now).

All I can say is that this is Bitcoin. I don't believe it until I see six confirmations.

it was signed into law by the Governor?  Nope.
 It passed Assembly.

Don't believe everything you read.

That said there doesn't appear to be any movement

All of you are missing the point.

Why does Bitcoin need to be "Leagalised"?

You are walking right into it.

What would realistically happen if it wasn't legalized?

Also, what has happened to the bill? What sort of timeframe are we generally supposed to expect here for it to become law?

I hope never because "becoming law" defeats the purpose.
