一個大會 是由一個組織的成員定期集會，就該組織的特定範圍或範圍進行決策。
大會舉行會議，有些是私人的，有些是公開的。如果是公開的，就可以參加(例如：參加會議，如果容量允許的話，將點加入議程，或評論此機構所採取的提案和決策。)
例如：年度大會(每年舉行一次，通過投票定義組織的主要行動方針以及執行機構)、平等顧問委員會(每兩個月舉行一次，就如何改善組織中的性別關係提出建議)、評估委員會(每月舉行一次，監督某個流程) 或保證機構(收集事件、濫用或提案以改善決策程序) 都是大會的例子。.
Economic Matters Committee
Strategic Digital Asset Reserve Act of Maryland
關於這個大會
Maryland House Bill 51, the Strategic Digital Asset Reserve Act of Maryland, would establish a Maryland Digital Asset Reserve Fund administered by the State Treasurer. The fund would allow the state to invest in qualifying cryptocurrency and hold it as a reserve asset.
The fund could receive money seized or forfeited by state authorities in connection with illegal gambling activities, money appropriated through the state budget, investment earnings, and money accepted from other sources. It would be a special, nonlapsing fund, meaning its balance would remain in the fund at the end of each fiscal year rather than returning to the state’s General Fund.
The fund could invest only in decentralized, blockchain-based cryptocurrency secured through cryptographic technology and having a market capitalization of at least $500 billion. The bill does not name a specific cryptocurrency.
Any cryptocurrency purchased by the fund would have to be safeguarded through a secure institutional platform operated by the State Treasurer or through a qualified custodian selected by the Treasurer. Expenditures from the fund would be made through the state budget process.
