During a full committee markup on Wednesday, the House Committee on Financial Services, led by Chairman French Hill (AR-02), approved the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act and other critical legislation. The CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act passed the House Financial Services Committee with a narrow 27-22 vote. This bill aims to stop the Federal Reserve from issuing a digital dollar, citing concerns over financial surveillance and the risk of the central bank becoming a retail banking entity. It prohibits the Federal Reserve System from deploying a CBDC through intermediaries and blocks the use of digital currency for monetary policy
