They haven't yet. They promised to do so
about 6 months ago, but when the proposed regs were released
about a month ago, they wernt' all that much better than
what we had previously. The administration is going to
make some mods to those proposed regs and then see
if they will be accepted.
Bert-Japp Koops's Crypto Law Survey web page is the place to
go to monitor crypto laws- he keeps it up to date.
