[Cynthia Lummis: Ethical Provisions and Illicit Finance Regulations in the Clarity Act Still Require Discussion] According to CoinDesk, Senator Cynthia Lummis stated that the ethical provisions and illicit finance regulations in the Clarity Act still require further discussion. Lummis pointed out that allowing state attorneys general to bring criminal or private lawsuits against bound parties based on ethical provisions is a red line for Republican negotiators, and this clause will continue to be negotiated over the weekend. A group of Democratic senators has expressed opposition to the current version of the bill, stating that it fails to meet the conditions for their support. Lummis revealed that the ethical provisions apply to the president, members of Congress, senior federal judges, and their spouses. The bill requires at least 60 votes to advance, and the Senate will enter its summer recess on August 7, with the voting date yet to be determined.
