Prohibiting Federal Reserve from issuing Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) to individuals

This means the government would be barred from opening individual digital accounts or offering related financial services. If passed, citizens will not have access to a CBDC as a form of digital money issued and directly controlled by the central bank.
