U.S. Senate Democrats Remain Divided Over Ethics Provisions of the Clarity Act

TechFlow reports on September 15 that, according to Eleanor Terrett, an increasing number of Democratic U.S. Senators are open to supporting the Clarity Act but remain dissatisfied with the current ethics provisions. Some Democratic Senators who previously supported sending the bill to committee have not yet taken a definitive stance, as they had expected stronger ethics clauses to be added before a floor vote. The report stated that Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is encouraging colleagues to vote to advance the bill and continue discussions during the full chamber session.
