What was being voted on

119-S-1582 — GENIUS Act

This bill establishes a regulatory framework for the issuance and operation of payment stablecoins in the United States. It limits the issuance of these assets to "permitted payment stablecoin issuers," who must maintain a 1-to-1 reserve of highly liquid assets. The bill creates a system of federal and state oversight, requiring monthly certifications and annual audits for larger issuers. It also implements strict anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance standards for issuers.

The Senate recorded this as
