On April 11, the Governor of Tennessee signed into law SB 2219 (the “Act”) that amended Section 47-1-201(b) of the Tennessee Code by redefining “money” and codifying “central bank digital currency.” The term “money” was updated to include a new provision that will state that money does not include a central bank digital currency. “Central bank digital currency” will instead be defined as a digital currency issued by a federal reserve, foreign government or foreign reserve system, and will include a digital currency, digital medium of exchange, or digital monetary unit of account processed by the entity. The Act will go into effect on July 1.
