Restore Sound Money in Virginia With HB 2336

Restore Sound Money in Virginia With HB 2336
Alert Summary

Members of the Virginia General Assembly are seeking to enact HB 2336, which would help restore sound money and enforce the U.S. Constitution’s monetary provisions.

What Can You Do?

Contact your state legislators

Please help enact HB 2336 by contacting your state legislators. Urge them to support strong legislation that enforces the U.S. Constitution and restores sound monetary policy.

Why it Matters

Members of the Virginia General Assembly are seeking to enact legislation to help protect and restore sound money and enforce the U.S. Constitution’s monetary provisions.

House Bill No. 2336 (HB 2336) is sponsored by Delegate Amanda Batten (R-Toano). If enacted, it would extend the state’s sales-tax exemption for precious metals until 2032, ensuring that gold and silver will be treated like money for another seven years.

HB 2336 is a first 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 Virginia’s financial dependence on the federal government. It will also help Florida 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.” HB 2336 is an excellent model for other states to follow.

Urge your state representative and senator to support HB 2336 and to fully restore sound money in Virginia.
