The draft regulations do need work to clarify several issues. The draft does address privacy notice requirements, as well as how companies must notify its contractors and vendors to delete personal information as well as how to respond to opt out preference signals. The rules are forecasted to take effect on January 1, 2023.

Can Rhode Island Serve As A Model for Digital Currency in Today’s Worldwide Changing Marketplace?
This year Rhode Island has shown why it is one of the early adopter states of acknowledging and strategizing for a blockchain future.
Can Rhode Island Serve As A Model for Digital Currency in Today’s Worldwide Changing Marketplace?
For those that monitor the digital currency market, we have witnessed Chinese President Xi Jinping’s announcement in October 2019 that China should “seize the opportunity” that blockchain presents. According to a study by PR Newswire, the current worldwide crypto-currency market valued at $1.9 billion in 2017 can grow to $84 billion by 2024.
With the world’s varying economies changing daily, the question that I have heard stakeholders ask is what place will digital currencies have here in the United States? The response here has been skeptical. While we have seen flashes of digital currency acceptance, the treatment of cryptocurrencies in the enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 shows that we still have a long way to go in understanding how digital currencies have started to become a part of our economy.
This year Rhode Island has shown why it is one of the early adopter states of acknowledging and strategizing for a blockchain future. In May 2019, the state issued a Request for Proposal or RFP that identified 12 business segments of opportunity (anti-fraud, contracts, medical marijuana, investigations, records, notarization, registration and licensing, shareholder or policyholder voting and crowdsourcing) where Rhode Island is looking to achieve its goals of becoming more efficient, transparent and business-friendly to name a few.
At this point in time, the idea of blockchain technology or digital currencies seem a long way off. However; most innovative ideas always seem like they are being discussed earlier than they should until a majority of the public fully understands their function and then fully embraces the potential.
At Lanton Law, we are monitoring policy, market and technology trends when it comes to innovation. If your company is considering investing in digital currencies or blockchain technology and are looking for the “next Rhode Island” or are wondering how state or federal policy will impact your business strategy, contact us today.
