Lawmakers in the US state of New Hampshire are currently considering a bill to legalize payment of fees and taxes with BTC.NH HB470 bill is now making its way through local government, with a public hearing that took place yesterday. “This bill requires the State Treasurer [...] to develop an implementation plan for the state to accept cryptocurrencies as payment for taxes and fees beginning July 1, 2020,” it reads.Republicans Dennis Acton and Michael Yakubovich are the main drivers of this event. A subcommittee is due to examine it on Jan. 29, with a decision deadline set for March, 14.It's really inspiring that crypto is being adopted on such a high level. If everything will go well NH joins Wyoming in so called crypto-adoption club and let's hope more US states will consider crypto payments as an option and finally make it more acceptable at the federal level.But the news like these yet didn't interrupt BTC's price which is almost the same today (down by 0.5% actually according to coin360) as it was yesterday when public hearings took place. Let's see how it'll go after the 14th of March.Edited: added main source: http://bit.ly/2R8wRkQ
