CFO Jimmy Patronis: Florida is Fighting Back Against the Central Bank Digital Currency
~ Applauds Governor DeSantis for Signing Legislation to Protect Florida from CBDC-fueled federal overreach ~

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Today, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Jimmy Patronis applauded Governor Ron DeSantis for signing SB 7054, which defines “Central Bank Digital Currency,” and prohibits its use as money within Florida’s Uniform Commercial Code (UCC).

CFO Jimmy Patronis said, “The last thing our country needs is a federally controlled Centralized Bank Digital Currency weaponized by the Biden Administration. It’s just another way for Floridians to have their vital financial information surveilled and controlled by the federal government. No one asked for this, and Florida won’t let it stand. Every day, your privacy and financial freedoms are under attack, but thankfully we have leaders like Governor DeSantis fighting to Keep Florida Free.”
