On July 14, according to Cointelegraph, the U.S. Clarity Act received public support from a second major law enforcement organization before the Senate's August recess. The Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association sent a letter to the Senate Banking Committee on July 10 supporting the bill, while calling for amendments to DeFi protection provisions to strengthen accountability, clarify responsibility attribution in decentralized financial systems, and prevent enterprises from evading regulation under the guise of decentralization. Previously, the bill had received support from the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives. The two letters help counter arguments that the bill would weaken the government's ability to combat crypto-related crimes. However, the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association still demands narrowing the scope of DeFi protections, modifying the “specific intent” language to facilitate liability determination, and clarifying that the bill does not limit existing federal investigative powers. Earlier, four law enforcement organizations sent a letter to the White House in June expressing concerns about Section 604.
