House Pushes Back on Senate’s 2030 CBDC Ban Expiry.
rather than ending on December 31, 2030.
Cruz filed the proposal as amendment SA 4318 to the Senate’s 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. The measure specifically targets language contained in amendment No. 4308. That earlier amendment came from Tim Scott and Elizabeth Warren.
By striking lines 15 and 16 on page 302, Cruz seeks to remove the sunset clause. According to Terrett, Cruz intends to push for a vote on the amendment next week. The move adds a digital currency debate to legislation focused primarily on housing reform.
House Members Signal Opposition to Sunset Clause
However, the Senate language has already triggered resistance in the House. Lawmakers there have indicated they will not accept a temporary ban on central bank digital currencies. Terrett wrote that House members made it clear they would not tolerate the 2030 expiration provision.
She added that the disagreement could lead to a contentious legislative process. Meanwhile, political messaging around the issue has intensified. Anna Paulina Luna warned supporters that negotiations over the provision could become heated.
She argued that a temporary ban would allow the policy to expire in future years. Therefore, she urged lawmakers to push for a permanent restriction on a potential digital dollar.
Housing Bill Advances Broader Reform Measures
Despite the currency dispute, the legislation focuses mainly on housing supply issues. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act aims to address construction barriers across the United States.
The bill proposes zoning reforms, incentives for home construction, and faster permitting procedures. Additionally, it directs federal agencies to coordinate grant review timelines and simplify funding notices.
