TLDR:

We discussed how the Blockchain Advocacy Coalition’s sponsorship of AB 2004 pushed verifiable credentials into mainstream political discourse and how companies can help us shape public policy and government pilot programs of Verifiable Credential technology.

We are planning on working with legislators to introduce a bill that creates a California Trust Framework and lays the groundwork for use of the technology in the public and private sector.

Our coalition is funded by the companies who participate in it. If you are interested in being part of shaping legislation in California the will build the market for your tools and services please be in touch. Remember what happens in California shapes what happens nationally and has a global impact.
