AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill makes the Secretary of Commerce a principal advisor to the President on policy about blockchain and other distributed ledger technology, digital tokens, and tokenization. Within 180 days, the Secretary would set up a National Blockchain Deployment Advisory Committee made up of federal officials and outside experts, such as businesses, researchers, consumer groups, and rural stakeholders. The committee would study issues and risks of the technology, including federal agency use and security, and would end after 7 years. The Secretary would also develop a set of voluntary best practices and send yearly public reports to Congress, plus a final report. The bill states that private companies would not be required to share information or adopt the best practices.
