Voted against a bill on Jul 17th, 2025
Bill Name
GENIUS Act
Details
The GENIUS Act of 2025 proposes a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins. It defines permitted issuers (insured depository institutions, their subsidiaries, and approved nonbank entities) and mandates 1:1 reserve backing with specific high-quality assets. The bill outlines federal and state regulatory oversight options, sets requirements for customer asset segregation, and grants stablecoin holders priority in insolvency proceedings. It also clarifies that regulated payment stablecoins are not considered securities or commodities under various acts. The bill designates issuers as financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act, requiring compliance with AML, KYC, and sanctions regulations to prevent illicit finance and safeguard national security. It also reinforces U.S. leadership in digital finance by supporting innovation and ensuring the dollar remains competitive in a rapidly evolving global financial landscape.

House Freedom Caucus Members reached an agreement tonight to advance the President’s cryptocurrency agenda and, as part of this agreement, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) will include strong anti–Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) protections in this must-pass legislation. This is a significant win for the American people as a government-controlled digital currency poses a direct threat to financial privacy and economic freedom. By securing these protections, we will be taking a critical step to stop government overreach and to preserve individual liberty. This is exactly why the House Freedom Caucus fights— Freedom is our middle name — and we will continue to fight to protect the rights of Americans every day.

House Freedom Caucus Members will be voting in favor of the rule today after reaching an agreement with President Trump last night. Under this agreement, the Rules Committee will reconvene later today to add clear, strong anti–Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) provisions to the CLARITY legislation This is an important step to ensure Americans are protected from government overreach into their financial privacy. We remain committed to securing these critical protections in the final legislation and ensuring they are preserved as the bill moves through the Senate and into law. Make America Great Again.
