Arizona Senate Advances Bill Allowing Bitcoin Payments to State Agencies

The evidence strongly supports the truthfulness of the statement. A highly relevant social media post from a crypto-focused news account makes a specific and verifiable claim: Arizona Senate Bill SB1043, which would allow state agencies to accept Bitcoin, passed a second reading. Passing a legislative reading is a clear form of a bill 'advancing' through the legislative process. This claim is directly verifiable through the most authoritative source provided, a legislative tracking website for the Arizona legislature, which lists bills and their current status. Additional context from a StateScoop article confirms that Arizona lawmakers have previously shown interest in this type of legislation, which adds to the plausibility of the claim. The remaining sources are irrelevant as they pertain to federal legislation, other states, or general government agencies with no connection to the specific Arizona state bill in question. The convergence of a specific claim with a primary source for verification makes the statement very likely to be true.
