Bitcoin mining laws in Arkansas

Arkansas passed a "right to mine" law in 2023 (Act 851) and then reversed much of it in 2024: Act 173 gave local governments back their noise and zoning powers and requires noise control (liquid or immersion cooling, a full enclosure, or 2,000 feet from the nearest home or business with local approval, or an industrial zone), and Act 174 requires a permit from the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission. Home mining stays protected; foreign-adversary owners had to sell.
