H.R. 1919: Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act

Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 1919, the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, led by Whip Emmer. This bill is about defending our Constitution and protecting the privacy of the American people. The Constitution is unambiguous in Article I, Section 8, which grants only Congress exclusive authority to coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin. This is a clear provision of the United States Constitution.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 1919, the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act. Among the many rights that we enjoy as Americans, privacy is among the most fundamental. Establishing a central bank digital currency would not only usurp consumers' privacy and individual freedoms, but it would also hinder free market innovation. Digital assets are here to stay. I agree strongly with President Trump that the United States should be a leader in this space. However, the last administration held a very different view.

Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the rule and the underlying legislation. The four separate measures being considered under this rule all have a singular commonality. They serve to put American interests first, where they should always be. All of us can agree that within the global markets, and on the global stage, America must always remain competitive and stand tall. That is not sometimes. That is not occasionally. That is not part of the time. That is always.

His constituents are lucky to have him representing them in the House of Representatives. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the rule and the underlying legislation. This is an important week in the House as we take up legislation to fund our military and advance several key financial services bills, including efforts to establish a clear market structure for cryptocurrency and protect Americans' financial privacy by blocking a surveillance-style central bank digital currency. Let me begin with the Defense appropriations bill.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend, the gentleman from Georgia, for this opportunity to speak. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the rule for H.R. 3633, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 and H.R. 1919, the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act. Together, these bills provide much needed clarity on digital asset regulation and ensure critical consumer protections so Americans retain their financial freedom. Before basketball became the great sport that we know and love, it needed rules. Without structure, the game could not grow and thrive. The same is true for digital assets.
