The United States Constitution declares, in Article I, Section 10, "No State shall... make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts". But, in fact, EVERY state in the United States of America DOES make some other "Thing" besides gold and silver coin a "Tender in Payment of Debts" -- some "Thing" called "Federal Reserve Notes." Thus the need for the "Constitutional Tender Act" -- a bill template that can be introduced in every state legislature in the nation, returning each of them to adherence to the United States Constitution's actual legal tender provisions.

	Progress in Georgia	Other State Proposals	Grassroots Activism
	The "Constitutional Tender Act" has been introduced in the Georgia House of Representatives by Rep. Bobby Franklin (R-43), a member of the Georgia House Banks & Banking Committee, for the 2009 Session of the Georgia Legislature. The bill number is HB 430. The bill has been referred to two subcommittees: the Financial Institutions & Services Subcommittee, and the Regulations & Oversight Subcommittee. The first hearing before a combined meeting of the two subcommittees was held the week of March 23, 2009 (view the testimony in support of the bill here). A vote on the bill itself is not likely until the 2010 session. On the Senate side, Georgia Senator David Shafer has used to first half of HB 430 as the basis for a bill he has introduced, titled the "Sound Money in Banking Act." This bill would require banks in Georgia to offer accounts denominated in gold and silver coins - a huge step forward for the re-introduction of REAL money that keeps its value over time!
