The Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act aims to prevent the Federal Reserve from creating or implementing a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), often referred to as a "digital dollar." Specifically, the bill would prohibit Federal Reserve banks from offering financial products or services directly to individual citizens and would bar them from maintaining individual bank accounts. It also proposes to stop the Federal Reserve Board of Governors from testing, studying, or developing a CBDC unless explicitly authorized by an act of Congress.
If enacted, the bill would ensure that the federal government cannot use a digital currency to monitor personal transactions or implement monetary policy directly through individual accounts. Proponents of the bill argue it is necessary to protect the financial privacy of Americans and prevent potential government overreach or surveillance. The legislation also includes provisions to ensure that any future digital currency developments in the United States align with principles of private-sector innovation rather than state-controlled financial systems.
