HUMBL and the County of Santa Cruz Have Teamed Up To Launch the First Digital Wallet for a Municipal Government in the State of California, Offering Citizens a Convenient Mobile Platform for Government Services and Transactions
Santa Cruz, CA, Nov. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HUMBL, Inc. (OTC: HMBL) and the County of Santa Cruz announced today the launch of the first digital wallet of any municipal government in the State of California. The goal of the digital wallet is to provide Santa Cruz residents with a highly modernized, verified platform for government interactions, transactions and communications.
The mobile application is available on both Android and Apple app stores, and entitled “MySCCounty+.” MySCCounty+ integrates legacy Santa Cruz County mobile app services such as benefit applications, graffiti reporting, emergency alerts, voter registration, storm preparedness, reporting alcohol and tobacco sales to minors, reporting code violations, paying property taxes, park locator, park facility reservations, planning application status, road projects, restaurant inspection lookups, scheduling of building inspections, medi-cal signups, charging station locations, beach water advisories and more. The County is also experimenting in MySCCounty+ with new blockchain technology in areas such as RV permits within the digital wallet, with the intent to expand on additional use cases that can benefit from distributed ledger technology and verifiable credentials.
During the MySCCounty+ development process, the State of California recently passed legislation (Senate Bill 786, Hertzberg), signed by Governor Newsom on September 28, 2022, that allows county governments to issue vital records for birth, marriage and death certificates via verifiable credentials, which can be held in digital wallets and secured by blockchain technology.
