The California Assembly passed AB 1180 with a unanimous 68-0 vote, marking a significant step toward cryptocurrency integration in state operations. The bill, now headed to the Senate, proposes a pilot program allowing businesses to pay state fees using digital assets. Assemblymember Avelino Valencia champions the initiative as a groundbreaking move to explore blockchain's role in government transactions.

The Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) will oversee regulatory frameworks for these payments. Valencia emphasized the program's potential to streamline public-sector financial infrastructure through digital assets. The bill's bipartisan support underscores growing institutional acceptance of cryptocurrency.
