Montana Senate Passes Bill Protecting Crypto Miners

The legislation also takes power from local governments, preventing them from moving against at-home mining or retroactively using zoning laws to shut down active operations. “These protections, along with clarifying tax law in relation to digital assets when used as payment, will plant a flag in Montana that sends a message that we are open to embracing the digital asset mining industry,” Montana Senator Daniel Zolnikov (R) told CoinDesk.
