The bill prohibits local governments from enacting ordinances that limit sound decibels from digital asset mining operations, require permits for home digital asset mining, or impose different requirements on digital asset mining businesses compared to data centers. It also mandates that digital asset mining businesses comply with local ordinances, utility service rules, and state and federal laws, and pay applicable taxes.
