Senator Cruz introduces companion bill to prohibit the Fed from issuing a CBDC

US Senator Ted Cruz introduced a bill on March 26 to prohibit the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC). The “Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act,” would prohibit the Fed from offering certain products or services directly to American individuals, a key component of any CBDC. The Texas Republican’s bill can be considered a companion bill to Minnesota Republican Representative Tom Emmer’s anti-CBDC legislation, which was reintroduced on March 6. A companion bill is a piece of legislation that is similarly or identically worded to another bill, and introduced in the other chamber of Congress source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/senator-cruz-companion-bill-prohibit-fed-cbdc-digital-dollar?utm_source=rss_feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_partner_inbound
