Solari’s monthly online briefings are designed to support state legislators, other elected officials, and engaged citizens who are working to preserve American freedoms.
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. The briefing titled “A Legislator’s Guide to Programmable Money, Part Two” took place on March 26, 2026, and served as a follow-up to the in-depth discussion of the Solari model legislation, The Consumer Payment Rights and Transparency Act, presented during the February briefing with David Liechty.
The briefing:
- Provided an update on the current status of state legislation related to programmable money
- Discussed lessons learned during the legislative process
- Addressed in greater depth questions that were raised during the February briefing
David 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.
