H585 would ban the use of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in Idaho.
The House failed to pass H585 on March 19, 2024, by a vote of 30 to 40. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because a Central Bank Digital Currency would be an unconstitutional and intolerable expansion of tyranny under the Federal Reserve—presenting a significant danger to Americans’ civil liberties by decimating personal privacy and allowing for a full-fledged surveillance state. According to Article 1, Section 10, of the U.S. Constitution, “No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.” The States can and must act now to avow their adherence to constitutionally sound money.
