Odaily News The Nebraska state legislature just passed a bill to regulate Bitcoin miners. LB 526 would require large miners to cover the cost of infrastructure upgrades, require miners to report energy usage, and allow authorities to interrupt service. The bill passed unanimously, 49-0. Nebraskas Bitcoin mining bill, LB 526, isnt a huge setback for companies in the state. At just over two pages long, the bill is pretty straightforward. Unlike the anti-mining bill, it doesnt address carbon emissions or other environmental impacts. Instead, it focuses almost entirely on the power grid.
