According to CoinDesk, South Carolina has proposed S.0163 bill, which prohibits state government agencies from accepting or testing central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and prohibits state-level payment requirements in the form of CBDCs. The bill protects users' self custody rights, allowing individuals to freely use digital assets for legal transactions, while restricting discriminatory regulation of cryptocurrency mining and node operations. The bill also stipulates that encrypted payments cannot be used as additional tax assessment basis. The state fiscal impact statement indicates that the bill is not expected to have a significant impact on existing fiscal operations.
