AI Summary

  • Renames the "Regulatory Sandbox Program" to the "Financial Technology, Digital Assets and Blockchain Sandbox Program" throughout Arizona Revised Statutes Title 41, Chapter 55.

  • Adds "digital assets" to the definition of innovations that can be tested, defining digital assets as virtual currencies, cryptocurrencies, and other digital-only assets that confer economic, proprietary or access rights or powers.

  • Expands the sandbox program to explicitly include testing of digital asset innovations alongside financial products and services, allowing participants to test these innovations on a limited basis without obtaining state licensure.

  • Maintains existing restrictions on sandbox participants, including 24-month testing periods, consumer caps of 10,000 (or up to 17,500 with adequate capitalization), and transaction limits for money transmitter and consumer lender products.

  • Requires sandbox participants to disclose to consumers that innovations are temporary tests authorized through the sandbox program and are not state-endorsed or generally licensed.
