CLARITY Act Absent From Senate Agenda With Only 72 Hours Before Recess

Senate Monday schedule excludes CLARITY Act, listing only H.R. 6500 procedural vote. Standard cloture timeline suggests final passage is unlikely before the upcoming recess.

Woofun AI reports that the U.S. Senate's publicly released agenda for Monday does not include the CLARITY Act. The chamber currently plans solely for a procedural vote on H.R. 6500, the continuing resolution. Under Senate rules, initiating cloture requires a petition signed by at least 16 senators. A petition filed on Wednesday, August 5, could trigger a vote on ending debate regarding the "motion to proceed" as early as Friday, August 7. This vote would not constitute final passage of the bill. Even if cloture is invoked, the process mandates up to 30 hours of debate on the motion to proceed, followed by formal consideration of the bill and potentially another cloture procedure. Consequently, completing the standard legislative process before the recess appears improbable.
