New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte signed HB 639 into law last week, establishing what the bill calls “The Blockchain Basic Laws” and creating protections for cryptocurrency innovation and use in the state. According to Odaily, the law also allows the state’s Superior Court to set up a special docket for blockchain-related disputes.

The report said New Hampshire last year passed a strategic Bitcoin reserve bill that permits the state treasurer to invest up to 5% of public funds in Bitcoin, as well as precious metals such as gold and silver.

Separately, the state’s Executive Council last week rejected a proposal that would have allowed the New Hampshire Business Finance Authority to promote Bitcoin-backed municipal bonds.
