House Cancels Final Weeks of September, Jeopardizing CLARITY Act Vote

House leadership has unexpectedly canceled the last two weeks of September's legislative session. This decision means the House will be out of session by September 17, just two days after the Senate is scheduled to vote on the CLARITY Act on September 15.

The scheduling change raises concerns that the CLARITY Act may not receive a House vote until after the midterms, during a lame-duck session where one or both chambers could flip control. Industry watchers have flagged this development as potentially significant for crypto's push toward federal regulatory clarity this year.
