CLARITY Act Not Included in Senate Monday Agenda, Only 72 Hours Remaining in Advancement Window Before Recess

TechFlow News, August 3, according to CryptoSlate, the agenda published by the U.S. Senate on Monday did not include a vote related to the "Clarity Act for Digital Asset Markets (CLARITY Act)"; currently, only a procedural vote on the H.R.6500 Continuing Resolution is planned.

According to Senate rules, the standard cloture procedure requires at least 16 senators to sign the motion. If the Senate submits a cloture motion on August 5 (Wednesday), the relevant vote could occur as early as August 7 (Friday). However, this vote only concerns whether to end debate on the "motion to proceed to the bill," not the final passage of the CLARITY Act. If cloture is invoked, the Senate still needs to: discuss the motion to proceed for up to 30 hours; formally deliberate on the bill; and potentially face the cloture procedure again. Therefore, the normal process may not be completed before the recess.
