Description
You will be drafting a brief but comprehensive summary of state legislative action regarding blockchain and cryptocurrency.
The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) has maintained a database of legislative actions taken (or proposed) by US states since approximately 2015. This legislation is categorized as either blockchain or cryptocurrency legislation.
Your state legislative summary will be exactly three (3) pages long, single spaced, Times New Roman 12-point font. Ensure paragraphs are indented. Sub-headers are encouraged.
For the legislative summary you will review legislation for the periods compiled by NCSL. Select a specific topic in blockchain and/or cryptocurrency and provide a summary of legislation on that specific topic. Include a comprehensive look at all states and legislation relating to that topic. Explain the topic selected, how you will go about analyzing the topic, legislation that has been proposed, what legislation has been successful, and if any trends can be identified.
For example, a topic could be the recordation of official and government documents by means of blockchain technology.
Take into consideration that the paper is three (3) pages in length (single-spaced) so ensure you select a specific topic with an adequate amount of legislative activity to meet this requirement. Too general and the paper will be much too long.
For simple citation purposes within the text of the summary you will use the following format:
Florida House Bill 1393 from 2019 would be identified as (FL 2019 HB 1393)
Alaska Senate Bill 39 from 2021 would be identified as (AK 2021 SB 39)
A reference section will be included and list the legislation utilizing the following format:
FL 2019 HB 1393 would be listed as Florida (2019). House Bill 1393.
AK 2021 SB 39 would be listed as Alaska (2021). Senate Bill 39.
Reference section should be in alphabetical order first, then by date (oldest to newest) and then by bill number (House then Senate). Here is a brief example wit explanation:
Alaska (2018). Senate Bill 145. (Though a higher bill number the year is earlier then next reference)
Alaska (2021). Senate Bill 39. (Alaska comes before Florida alphabetically)
Florida (2019). House Bill 1393. (Same year and state as next reference but House comes before Senate)
Florida (2019). Senate Bill 502. (Lower bill number than prior reference but House comes before Senate)
