阿肯色州加密採礦法正在接受審查，潛在的修正案正在接受審查

由於對當地政府法規和加密貨幣挖礦站點的建立的擔憂，阿肯色州正在重新考慮其 2022 年加密貨幣挖礦法（第 851 號法案）的各個方面。第 851 號法案旨在限制地方對此類設施的控制，但社區的擔憂以及總檢察長正在進行的對這些場所潛在外資所有權的調查促使一項研究評估 2025 年對該法律的潛在修訂。

Arkansas Crypto-Mining Law Under Scrutiny, Amendments Considered

阿肯色州加密採礦法正在接受審查，考慮進行修正案

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Arkansas lawmakers are revisiting provisions of a year-old law that regulates cryptocurrency mining in the state, following concerns raised by communities and government officials.

阿肯色州小石城（美聯社）—在社區和政府官員提出擔憂之後，阿肯色州立法者正在重新審查一項監管該州加密貨幣挖礦的法律條款。

Act 851, which was passed in 2022, was intended to limit the authority of local governments to impose regulations on crypto mining operations. However, opponents argued that the law has hindered efforts to address noise and other negative impacts associated with these facilities.

2022 年通過的第 851 號法案旨在限制地方政府對加密貨幣挖礦業務實施監管的權力。然而，反對者認為，該法律阻礙了解決與這些設施相關的噪音和其他負面影響的努力。

"What the bill was, was really kind of a preemption bill that says hey local control exists," said Sen. Joshua Bryant (R-Rogers), the sponsor of Act 851. "Once they're up and operated, you can't just back down and shut them down."

851 法案的發起人、參議員約書亞·布萊恩特(R-Rogers) 表示：「該法案實際上是一項先發製人的法案，表明存在地方控制。」「一旦它們啟動並運行，你就可以”不要只是退縮並關閉它們。”

Crypto mining, a process that involves solving complex computational problems to verify cryptocurrency transactions, requires significant amounts of energy and generates substantial heat and noise. Since the passage of Act 851, communities throughout Arkansas have expressed concerns about the potential environmental and nuisance impacts of crypto mining sites.

加密貨幣挖礦是一個涉及解決複雜計算問題以驗證加密貨幣交易的過程，需要大量能源並產生大量熱量和噪音。自第 851 號法案通過以來，阿肯色州各地的社區都對加密礦場的潛在環境和滋擾影響表示擔憂。

"By that time, local government had already let them in and so Act 851 would provide those same protections for bad actors," Bryant acknowledged, referring to the lack of due process that some local governments allegedly provided to crypto mining businesses before approving their operations.

布萊恩特承認：「到那時，地方政府已經讓他們進入，因此第851 號法案將為不良行為者提供同樣的保護。」他指的是一些地方政府據稱在批准其運營之前向加密貨幣挖礦企業提供的正當程序。 。

In response to these concerns, the Arkansas General Assembly has authorized a study to examine potential amendments to Act 851. The study, which is expected to be completed by 2025, will focus on striking a balance between protecting the rights of responsible crypto mining operators and safeguarding the interests of local communities.

為了回應這些擔憂，阿肯色州議會已授權進行一項研究，以審查第851 號法案的潛在修正案。該研究預計將於2025 年完成，重點是在保護負責任的加密貨幣挖礦運營商的權利和維護當地社區的利益。

Attorney General Tim Griffin has also been investigating possible foreign interference in Arkansas' crypto mining industry. However, no confirmed cases of foreign ownership of crypto mining facilities in the state have been identified to date.

總檢察長蒂姆·格里芬也一直在調查阿肯色州加密貨幣採礦業可能受到的外國幹預。然而，迄今為止，尚未發現該州加密貨幣採礦設施的外國所有權的確診案例。

"The changes to the law following the study would likely come in 2025 through some amendments," Bryant said.

布萊恩特說：“研究後的法律可能會在 2025 年通過一些修正案進行修改。”

The revision of Act 851 is a complex and multifaceted issue that involves balancing the economic benefits of crypto mining with the potential negative impacts on communities and the environment. The upcoming study will provide lawmakers with valuable information as they work to craft amendments that address these concerns and strike an appropriate balance between the rights of businesses and the well-being of residents.

851 號法案的修訂是一個複雜且多方面的問題，涉及平衡加密貨幣挖礦的經濟效益與對社區和環境的潛在負面影響。即將進行的研究將為立法者提供有價值的信息，幫助他們制定修正案，解決這些問題，並在企業權利和居民福祉之間取得適當的平衡。
