Content: The legislation failed to make it out of committee. Colorado
Colorado’s money transmitter regulations do not define virtual currency and the Colorado Division of Banking has not published any guidelines. An attempt to address this lack of clarity, Colorado House Bill 18-1220, would have described when wallet providers, traders and exchanges fall under the definition of money transmitters as well as clarified when altcoins fall under securities regulations. The bill died in the Colorado Senate. Connecticut
Public Act 15-53, passed in 2015, added virtual currencies to the criteria for regulation as a money transmitter in Connecticut. The state’s Department of Banking, which licenses money transmitters, has not published specific guidance for virtual currency businesses. Two pieces of legislation could change Connecticut’s regulatory environment. House Bill 5496 would adopt the URVCBA. House Bill 5001 proposes a fee on the “transfer or trade” of virtual currencies. Delaware
Delaware’s money transmission law does not mention virtual currencies and the Office of the State Banking Commissioner has not published any guidelines.
