MCSA dropped its opposition after talks clarified Section 604, while NOBLE endorsed the CLARITY Act and said the bill adds law enforcement tools without weakening existing criminal authorities.
Major County Sheriffs of America moved to a neutral stance on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, H.R. 3633, after further review and discussions with the Administration over Section 604, while the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives endorsed the bill in a separate July 1 letter. MCSA said the talks clarified how Section 604 would be interpreted and implemented but did not endorse the measure, instead continuing to seek amendments to include state and local agencies in the Treasury study under Section 309 and in any advisory or interagency bodies created under the act, along with more training, technology, forensic and investigative resources. NOBLE told Senate leaders the bill would provide meaningful new law enforcement tools, including expanded regulatory obligations, stronger digital asset forfeiture authorities and oversight requirements for digital asset kiosks, while preserving existing authorities covering money laundering, unlicensed money transmitting, conspiracy, aiding and abetting, and sanctions enforcement.
