SB57 is one of many Bitcoin-related bills to be proposed in the state. In December, Ohio House Republican leader Derek Merrin introduced HB 703, the Ohio Bitcoin Reserve Act, which would give the state Treasurer the option to allocate BTC to a reserve fund.

SB57是该州提出的许多与比特币相关的账单之一。去年12月，俄亥俄州众议院共和党领导人德里克·梅林（Derek Merrin）推出了HB 703，这是《俄亥俄州比特币储备法》，该法案将使州财务主管可以选择将BTC分配给储备金。

“The US dollar is being rapidly devalued, and our state Treasurer should have the authority and flexibility to invest in Bitcoin when determining proper asset allocation,” Merrin said at the time.

梅林当时说：“美元迅速贬值，我们的州财务主管在确定适当的资产分配时应该有权和灵活性投资比特币。”

In September, Ohio Senator Niraj Antani introduced a bill allowing the state to accept crypto for payment of taxes and fees.
