Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed the bill on May 2, blocking it from becoming law - https://www.dlnews.com/articles/regulation/first-in-the-us-bitcoin-reserve-blocked-by-governors-veto/ Arizona’s bid to become the first US state to hold Bitcoin as part of its official reserves has ended in a veto.

"Oklahoma’s version of the Bitcoin reserve act died in committee last month, while efforts in Montana, North Dakota, and Wyoming also fizzled in the first quarter".

thanks @tvplus006 for updating the thread to the latest update concerning Arizona state owning a bitcoin reserve, but sincerely speaking here what Governor Katie Hobbs did was not encouraging at all, or is Governor Katie Hobbs against cryptocurrency, bitcoin in particular?

katie hobbs has a agenda to increase funding of some disibility provisions in the healthcare sector.
she is holding ALL new bills to ransom until everyone on both sides of the table can agree to her agenda. its not a bitcoin thing, she wants any and all bills introduced to be vetoed until she gets her healthcare agenda sorted

she is the veto queen
she is vetoing atleast 20 things in one day
