SECOND SESSION
LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION 432
Introduced by Jacobson, 42.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this resolution is to propose an interim study to
examine the impact of digital asset data mining on Nebraska public power districts, electric ratepayers, and communities.
The study shall include an examination of the following:
(1) Whether Nebraska's existing electric infrastructure is sufficient to
support increased usage demands required for expanded digital asset data mining and, if not, the scope of the structural and financial investment necessary to
meet such demand;
(2) The effect on existing electric ratepayers, particularly industrial and agricultural ratepayers, of expanded digital asset data mining operations in Nebraska;
(3) The existence, efficacy, and prudence of laws and regulations adopted by other states or localities to regulate digital asset data mining operations;
and
(4) A cost-benefit analysis of digital asset data mining operations for Nebraska communities.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE ONE HUNDRED EIGHTH
LEGISLATURE OF NEBRASKA, SECOND SESSION:
1. That the Banking, Commerce and Insurance Committee of the Legislature shall be designated to conduct an interim study to carry out the purposes of
this resolution.
2. That the committee shall upon the conclusion of its study make a report of its findings, together with its recommendations, to the Legislative Council or Legislature.
