The National Sheriffs’ Association has withdrawn its opposition to the CLARITY Act and adopted a neutral, non-endorsement position before the Senate’s scheduled Sept. 15 cloture vote on the digital-asset market-structure legislation. The association described the change in a Sept. 3 letter to Senate leaders and announced it Sept. 5. The vote requires at least 60 senators to advance formal consideration. The bill remains contested over protections for noncustodial software developers, illicit-finance controls, ethics and conflicts-of-interest rules, stablecoin rewards, vertical integration and proposed Democratic appointments involving the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and Securities and Exchange Commission. Some Republicans as well as Democrats reportedly oppose the bill in its current form. The National District Attorneys Association and National Association of Assistant United States Attorneys are expected to remain opposed and want developer protections substantially narrowed. H.R. 3633 passed the House 294-134 on July 17, 2025; clearing Senate cloture would begin consideration rather than enact the legislation, and failure could delay comprehensive U.S. crypto market-structure regulation again.
