The U.S. Senate will hold a procedural vote on the CLARITY Act at 2:15 p.m. Eastern Time on September 15. This vote is not a final decision but determines whether the bill can proceed to formal consideration.
Must first obtain 60 votes
This vote is a cloture vote. The Senate requires at least 60 votes in favor for the bill to proceed and move into the full chamber's consideration process.
After approval, you can proceed to the revision stage.
If the vote passes, senators will then be able to debate the bill and propose amendments. In other words, this vote primarily serves to open the procedural path for further consideration.
The final vote will be conducted separately.
Even if this procedural vote passes, the CLARITY Act will not complete its entire legislative process on the same day. The final vote on the bill itself will be scheduled separately at a later time.
