H0617

This legislation would prohibit any person or entity from requiring the use of programmable money for a transaction. It also prevents issuers of programmable money from denying transactions based on arbitrary or ideological criteria. If a transaction is denied, the issuer must provide an explanation upon request. Violations would be enforceable under the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act of 1977, with additional remedies available to affected consumers.
