National Sheriffs' Association Adopts Neutral Stance on Clarity Act

The National Sheriffs' Association (NSA) has informed Senate leadership that it is shifting its stance on the Clarity Act from opposition to neutral. In a letter to Senate leaders John Thune and Chuck Schumer, NSA leadership stated that they are stepping back to allow the legislative process to continue, citing the complexity of the bill and ongoing deliberations. Previously, the NSA had expressed concerns that Section 604 of the bill could grant broad exemptions to mixers and DeFi platforms, potentially facilitating money laundering and sanctions evasion.
