In the latest update to the Clarity Act, Republicans on the Senate Banking Committee have not yet received full support from all Republicans on the committee, which is necessary to pass the cryptocurrency bill at least according to their party affiliation. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott expressed optimism about soon gaining full Republican support and the possibility of discussing the cryptocurrency bill in May.


Full Republican support still absent before the potential Clarity Act discussion session
According to a report from "Panchpool" website, Republicans on the Senate Banking Committee have not yet received full support from all Republicans on the committee in their efforts to pass the cryptocurrency bill. The report noted that Senator John Kennedy, one of the committee members, still abstains from supporting the bill.

This development comes as Senator Tom Tillis, who appeared to be one of the opposing Republicans, pushes for a discussion of the CLARITY Act. Tillis said he will ask Senator Scott to set a date to discuss the cryptocurrency bill as soon as they return from their summer break in May.

Nevertheless, full Republican support is crucial, especially since Republican Senate members on the Banking Committee may need to pass the cryptocurrency bill according to their party affiliation. Senator Scott, the committee chair, has already indicated his readiness to pass the bill with a party-line vote.

In an interview with Fox Business today, the senator stated that he has received approval from Tillis and several other members to discuss the Clarity Act. He revealed that his goal is to secure support from all thirteen Republicans before moving forward with the bill discussion. It is worth noting that the senator previously mentioned that gaining support from all Republicans is one of the main obstacles to advancing the bill discussion.
Optimism about amending the cryptocurrency bill in May
Senator Scott mentioned during the interview that he hopes to hold a discussion session on the cryptocurrency bill in May. This aligns with Senator Cynthia Lummis's earlier statement this week that they will hold this session next month.

Additionally, CoinGape reported that the CLARITY Act faces a deadline in August, as the Senate enters a five-week recess before the midterm elections. Senator Scott stated they will aim to bring the cryptocurrency bill to a vote in the Senate by June or July.

Besides ensuring full Republican support, other issues such as ethics and law enforcement concerns pose obstacles to the progress of the Clarity Act. Panchpool noted that Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley is actively negotiating with Senator Lummis to address law enforcement concerns regarding the protection of real estate developers, which could hinder legal actions.
