If the bill is converted into regulation, it would require digital asset exchanges and other crypto companies to obtain a license to operate in the state.

The technology would be established to distribute birth, death, and marriage records, allowing PDFs to be sent immediately instead of a typical 10-day postal delivery.

The bill represents a test of blockchain in an essential governmental function in California which is believed to be the most populous State in the US.
