The bills, approved on June 18th, 2026, includes amendments to the Financial Services Regulatory Commission Act, the Gaming Control Act, the Anti-Proliferation financing laws, the Virtual Asset legislation, and the Anti-Terrorism Act. Together, the Bills bring oversight across several sectors, from digital assets to gaming and national security-related financing.

 

Piloted through the House by Minister Konris Maynard, the reforms were presented as part of a broader effort to protect the Federation’s financial credibility and maintain confidence among international partners and investors.
