The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill extending FISA for three years, incorporating a ban on central bank digital currency. The vote was 235 in favor and 191 against, according to reports.
The extension builds on prior FISA provisions, with the added restriction on central bank digital currency included in the legislation. This measure aims to prevent the development or issuance of such a currency by central authorities.
The bill has been sent to the Senate for consideration. Majority Leader Thune stated that the ban on central bank digital currency is effectively not viable upon arrival in the Senate. No further details on Senate proceedings were provided in the report.
