Two bills that would regulate cryptocurrency mining operations in Arkansas passed the state Senate Wednesday and will be considered by the House.
参议院比尔79 passed with 32 votes for and no dissent, while 参议院比尔78 passed with 26 votes in favor and three votes against it. A few senators abstained from voting on either or both bills.
SB78 would place noise limits on crypto mines, prohibit them from being owned by certain foreign entities and allow local governments to pass ordinances regulating the mines. Bill sponsor Sen. Joshua Bryant, R-Rogers, called it “hopefully an administrative fix” to 851年第2023号法案, or the Arkansas Data Centers Act.
“I can’t say it’s perfect, but I don’t want perfect to get in the way of good,” he said.
Act 851, also sponsored by Bryant, was introduced and passed in the final week of the 2023 legislative session. The law limited local governments’ ability to regulate crypto mines, which are large groups of computers that harvest digital currency and are often located in rural areas because of the space they take up.
Officials have expressed frustration about how quickly Act 851 moved through the Legislature and have raised concerns over the mines’ potential foreign ownership and national security risks.
There are crypto mines in DeWitt and in the Bono community near Greenbrier, and an out-of-state entity has attempted to start a crypto mine near Harrison. Sen. Bryan King, R-Green Forest, represents Harrison and has been one of the Legislature’s most vocal proponents of cryptocurrency regulations.

King sponsored six resolutions that passed the Senate but 众议院失败 within the past two weeks, meaning he could not introduce his own set of crypto regulation proposals during the fiscal session, which focuses on the state budget.
King voted against SB78 and has repeatedly said its proposed regulations are not strong enough. He voted for SB79, though he said he had qualms about the bill, which contains much of the same language as SB78 and is sponsored by Sen. Missy Irvin, R-Mountain View.
The resolution that allowed SB79 to be drafted contained language that would have required crypto mines to be licensed by the state Department of Energy and Environment. The bill would put that responsibility in the hands of the state Oil and Gas Commission.
Both bills would give “a prohibited foreign-party-controlled business” exactly a year after the enactment of the policies to divest from ownership of an Arkansas crypto mine.
King asked Bryant why the legislation would give businesses so much time to divest. Bryant said the clause resulted from advice from Attorney General Tim Griffin’s office.
Irvin made a similar statement Tuesday to the Senate City, County and Local Affairs Committee before it passed an amended version of SB79.
The Bono community is in Irvin’s district, and local residents have filed a lawsuit claiming noise pollution from the local crypto mine.
Sen. Bryan King, R-Green Forest (Arkansas Legislature)
In addition to King, Democratic Sens. Greg Leding of Fayetteville and Stephanie Flowers of Pine Bluff voted against SB78.
King and Flowers both said the Legislature should have a special session this year to consider more crypto regulations.
“What I worry about… is that we’re just going to kick the can down the road on the rules and regs,” King said.
Flowers represents part of Arkansas County, where the crypto mine near DeWitt is located, and she said her constituents have told her SB78 is “a bad bill.”
“We don’t know the full extent of these centers,” she said. “…Something doesn’t smell right about all this.”
Bryant said he would urge Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders to call a special session if SB78 and SB79 become law but do not resolve the public’s problems with crypto mines.
Both bills have emergency clauses and would go into effect immediately upon Sanders’ signature.
