South Dakota Bankers Association President Karl Adam says the Governor is wrong….

Adam says the UCC sets rules for businesses and banks across the country….

Adam says only the federal government could move toward a “Central Bank Digital Currency”…..

The bill passed both Houses with a two thirds majority.
