Lawmakers Targeting Crypto Kiosks and Private Equity-Owned Child Care Centers

State Lawmakers Take Aim at Crypto Kiosks

Lawmakers in at least 15 states have introduced bills to regulate cryptocurrency kiosks, which are often found at convenience stores and gas stations. The bills would limit transactions, generally to $1,000 per day, and limit fees to $5 or 3% to 15% per transaction. The bills, aimed at reducing crypto scams that frequently impact the elderly, are supported by AARP. (PLURIBUS NEWS)

CO Lawmakers Target Private Equity-Owned Child Care Centers

Colorado’s House Health and Human Services Committee advanced a bill (HB 1011) that would require child care centers owned by private equity firms to provide 60 days’ notice of staff layoffs or enrollment changes. The measure is the state’s first effort to regulate for-profit child care chains with institutional investors. States including Massachusetts, New Jersey and Vermont have taken similar action recently. (COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO, LEXISNEXIS STATE NET)
