A tweet from @crypto_council referenced J.B. Pritzker

Illinois Governor Pritzker just signed the most punitive digital asset tax in the country into law. This will create an unprecedented tax regime that disproportionately burdens Illinois residents for simply using digital assets and will drive innovation and builders out of the pic.x.com/mYdcMjtA2isition letter for more.

While Trump lets crypto bros write federal policy, Illinois is implementing common-sense protections for investors and consumers. Today, I've signed into law first-of-their-kind safeguards in the Midwest for cryptocurrency and other digital assets. We won't tolerate fraudsters.

BREAKING: SB 1797 and SB 2319 passed — Illinois will be the first in the Midwest to protect consumers and businesses transacting in cryptocurrency and other digital assets. Grateful for Sen. Walker, Sen. Ellman, Rep. Gonzalez, and Rep. Tarver in getting these bills to my desk. x.com/IDFPR/status/1…
