Senate Democrats have sent a counteroffer to Republicans on the CLARITY Act just before the procedural vote scheduled for September 15. The details of the proposal remain under wraps for now. Senator Mark Warner was the one to announce publicly that the counterproposal had been submitted.

Heading into the procedural vote

As of the evening of September 14, Democratic lawmakers still hadn’t decided whether they’d back the motion to proceed with the bill. According to Republicans, the final draft of the CLARITY Act now includes 126 changes that were made at the request of Democrats.

What’s next

The procedural vote is set for September 15. The outcome of the negotiations—and whether Democrats support bringing the bill to the floor—will shape what happens next for the legislation. For now, the specifics of the Democrats’ counteroffer are still being kept confidential.
