🧵 Legal thread of the week: Arkansas Shields Home Bitcoin Miners 👇
1/7 🛡️ Arkansas just introduced SR7, a resolution authorizing a #bill that protects home #Bitcoin miners by amending the state’s Data Centers Act of 2023 and renaming it the Digital Asset Mining Act.
2/7 📜 Filed on April 3, 2026, SR7 limits local governments’ power to restrict or ban home digital asset mining and small-scale operations, giving miners clear statewide rules instead of patchwork local interference.
3/7 🏠 The legislation prohibits local authorities from banning home mining outright or forcing special permits on these operations, so everyday Arkansans can run their rigs without extra bureaucratic hurdles.
4/7 📋 Home miners only need to follow existing local ordinances, utility rules, state and federal laws, and pay all applicable taxes and fees, no more, no less, creating predictable compliance standards.
5/7 🔊 To keep things neighbor-friendly, the bill requires noise-reduction techniques like liquid cooling or fully enclosing equipment, ensuring small-scale mining meets practical environmental expectations.
6/7 ⚡ Digital asset mining businesses cannot strain utility generation or transmission, and the Arkansas Public Service Commission can set fair, non-discriminatory electricity rates for them.
7/7 🌟 SR7 draws a smart line between state protection for individual miners and responsible rules, offering a practical model for #Bitcoin law nationwide. What does this mean for your home setup? Drop your thoughts below and follow for next week’s legal thread. 👇
