The bill was intended to "boost innovation by removing barriers obstructing access to industrial data." Among its provisions is an article that would require smart contracts to be alterable. The act also granted smart contracts equal protection with other forms of contract. This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.
