Senator Wendy Rogers introduced a bill to make bitcoin a lawful currency in the U.S. state of Arizona.
The bill seeks to add Bitcoin to the list of instruments considered legal tender in Arizona and make the peer-to-peer digital currency a lawful medium of exchange there, enabling citizens to pay debts, public charges, taxes and dues with BTC.
The bill says “Bitcoin” specifically rather than cryptocurrency in general, and doesn’t mention any other digital currency.
