SCR 8 expresses opposition to the creation of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) by the Federal Reserve. The resolution highlights concerns related to privacy, cybersecurity risks, and government overreach, arguing that a CBDC could allow unprecedented government surveillance over private financial transactions and pose significant risks to national financial stability. It calls on the Texas Legislature to formally oppose the establishment of a CBDC at the federal level.
