Task force or study body None found
No digital assets, blockchain or crypto task force, commission or study committee found. We searched: Searched Oregon Legislature (OLIS) and web for blockchain / virtual currency / digital asset task force, work group, study committee; Oregon State Treasury and Governor Kotek digital asset or blockchain work group; DFR advisory bodies.
HB 2179 (2019, requested by House Interim Committee on Economic Development and Trade) would have created a Task Force on Blockchain Applications and Legislation sunsetting Dec. 31, 2020; OLIS lists it as sitting in committee (Ways and Means) with no chapter number, so it does not appear to have been enacted. Separately, SB 146 (2025, Chapter 463, requested by Treasurer Tobias Read) adds duties for holders of unclaimed digital assets and directs the State Treasurer to study trust property and report to interim Ways and Means committees by Sept. 15, 2026; this is a study mandate, not a task force.
