Arkansas Crypto Mining Association seeks to overturn state law targeting foreign cryptocurrency miners
the Arkansas Cryptocurrency Mining Association is suing two Arkansas officials, alleging that they enforced an unconstitutional discriminatory state rule that prohibits foreign-born American citizens from engaging in cryptocurrency mining activities. Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin and Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission Director Lawrence Bengal filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas on March 13.
Earlier, a federal court ruled in November last year to temporarily prevent Arkansas from blocking a naturalized Chinese-American citizen from operating a cryptocurrency mining business. The relevant rules in Arkansas are the "K Rule" and "Act 174", which prohibits foreign-controlled businesses in the state.
