URGENT: The Arizona Senate passed SB 1633 by a 16-11 vote. This bill now heads to the state House for consideration. Please contact your state representatives, and urge them to support this important bill!
Members of the Arizona State Legislature are seeking to enact legislation helping restore sound money and enforce the U.S. Constitution’s monetary provisions.
Senate Bill 1633 (SB 1633) is sponsored by Senator Jake Hoffman (R-Queen Creek). If enacted, it would create a state bullion depository and a specie-backed transactional currency. This would be a major step toward nullifying the Federal Reserve’s unconstitutional monopoly on currency.
SB 1633 is a great step toward enforcing the Constitution’s monetary provisions. Article I, Section 10, of the U.S. Constitution plainly states that “No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.” It’s long overdue that states begin to enforce this provision once again.
Additionally, this bill is an important step toward nullifying the unconstitutional Federal Reserve, which has a monopoly on money, and also reducing Arizona’s financial dependence on the federal government. It will also help Arizona avoid the federal government’s planned “Central Bank Digital Currencies,” which severely threaten privacy and individual freedom.
Article VI of the U.S. Constitution obligates state officials to uphold the Constitution and nullify all laws not “made in Pursuance” of it. Officials at all levels of government must push back against the federal government’s many unconstitutional laws and agencies, and robustly enforce the Constitution and only those laws “made in Pursuance thereof.” SB 1633 is a good model for other states to follow.
Urge your state representatives to support SB 1633 and to fully restore sound money in Arizona.
