On March 9, the governor of Indiana signed into law House Enrolled Act 1116, prohibiting the operation of virtual currency kiosks in the state. The law creates a new chapter under Indiana’s trade regulation code and amends the state’s Deceptive Consumer Sales Act to classify kiosk operations as an enumerated deceptive act. Under the law, virtual currency kiosks are electronic terminals through which an operator remotely conducts or facilitates virtual currency transactions on behalf of a third party for compensation, and operating such kiosks in Indiana is “actionable” by the attorney general. Enforcement provisions allow the attorney general to pursue actions against both kiosk operators and property owners who “knowingly or intentionally” permit violations. Where a court finds that a person knowingly or intentionally operated kiosks in violation of the law, it may order penalties in addition to those available under the Deceptive Consumer Sales Act, including: (i) forfeiture of charges collected from users during the period of the violation; (ii) forfeiture of any kiosks owned by the person and located in Indiana; and (iii) payment of the attorney general’s investigative costs. The law took effect immediately upon signing.
