阿肯色州加密采矿法正在接受审查，潜在的修正案正在接受审查

由于对当地政府法规和加密货币挖矿站点的建立的担忧，阿肯色州正在重新考虑其 2022 年加密货币挖矿法（第 851 号法案）的各个方面。第 851 号法案旨在限制地方对此类设施的控制，但社区的担忧以及总检察长正在进行的对这些场所潜在外资所有权的调查促使一项研究评估 2025 年对该法律的潜在修订。

Arkansas Crypto-Mining Law Under Scrutiny, Amendments Considered

阿肯色州加密采矿法正在接受审查，考虑进行修正案

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（美联社）——在社区和政府官员提出担忧之后，阿肯色州立法者正在重新审查一项监管该州加密货币挖矿的法律条款。

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 年通过的第 851 号法案旨在限制地方政府对加密货币挖矿业务实施监管的权力。然而，反对者认为，该法律阻碍了解决与这些设施相关的噪音和其他负面影响的努力。

"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 法案的发起者、参议员约书亚·布莱恩特 (R-Rogers) 表示：“该法案实际上是一项先发制人的法案，表明存在地方控制。”“一旦它们启动并运行，你就可以”不要只是退缩并关闭它们。”

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.

加密货币挖矿是一个涉及解决复杂计算问题以验证加密货币交易的过程，需要大量能源并产生大量热量和噪音。自第 851 号法案通过以来，阿肯色州各地的社区都对加密矿场的潜在环境和滋扰影响表示担忧。

"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.

布莱恩特承认：“到那时，地方政府已经让他们进入，因此第 851 号法案将为不良行为者提供同样的保护。”他指的是一些地方政府据称在批准其运营之前向加密货币挖矿企业提供的正当程序。 。

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.

为了回应这些担忧，阿肯色州议会已授权进行一项研究，以审查第 851 号法案的潜在修正案。该研究预计将于 2025 年完成，重点是在保护负责任的加密货币挖矿运营商的权利和维护当地社区的利益。

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.

总检察长蒂姆·格里芬也一直在调查阿肯色州加密货币采矿业可能受到的外国干预。然而，迄今为止，尚未发现该州加密货币采矿设施的外国所有权的确诊案例。

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

布莱恩特说：“研究后的法律可能会在 2025 年通过一些修正案进行修改。”

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 号法案的修订是一个复杂且多方面的问题，涉及平衡加密货币挖矿的经济效益与对社区和环境的潜在负面影响。即将进行的研究将为立法者提供有价值的信息，帮助他们制定修正案，解决这些问题，并在企业权利和居民福祉之间取得适当的平衡。
