Solari’s monthly online briefings are designed to support state legislators, other elected officials, and engaged citizens who are working to preserve American freedoms. The briefing titled “A Legislator’s Guide to Programmable Money” took place on Thursday, February 26 from 2:00 to 4:00 PM Eastern.
As digital payment systems rapidly evolve, states are increasingly becoming the front line in determining whether financial transactions will remain private, voluntary, and free from coercive control. Attorney David Liechty led an in-depth discussion about Solari’s model legislation on programmable money, The Consumer Payment Rights and Transparency Act. Liechty is a banking compliance and intellectual property attorney with more than 20 years’ experience advising private clients, U.S. banks, and U.S. branches of foreign financial institutions on intellectual property matters and banking regulatory compliance, financial crime risk, and governance.
