Odaily Planet Daily News: Ohio Senator Niraj Antani has proposed a bill requiring Ohio and all local governments to accept cryptocurrencies as a form of payment for state and local taxes. The bill covers not only Bitcoin, but other cryptocurrencies as well. Ohio became the first state in the United States to accept cryptocurrency for tax payments in November 2018, but suspended the practice in November 2019 due to legal issues. Antani believes that since the State Deposit Board has failed to act, the legislature will now promote this policy. In addition, the bill explicitly allows state universities and state pension funds to invest in cryptocurrencies. (Bitcoin Magazine)
