Senate Majority Leader John Thune filed cloture on the motion to proceed to Calendar #423, H.R.3633, the CLARITY Act.
The Senate Cloakroom, operated by Senate Republican cloakroom staff, confirmed the filing on X. The move locks the Senate into addressing the bill when members return from recess in September.
Filing cloture on the motion to proceed is a formal procedural commitment. Thune’s office initially confirmed that the vote would be postponed till September. This move guarantees floor time. The Senate cannot simply set it aside when it reconvenes.

The filing comes after a tense stretch for supporters of the bill. The Senate is going into recess without a vote, drawing concern from those who had pushed hard for action before the break. Thune’s office had signaled the intent to file, and he followed through.
The bill currently holds 51 confirmed Senate votes. It needs 60 to advance. Reports indicate up to 10 Democrats support the legislation. Negotiators will use the recess period to resolve outstanding disputes before the chamber reconvenes.
Lummis did not take the delay quietly. She released a public statement and made her continued commitment to the bill explicit. “We’ve come too far to quit now,” she said. She also took direct aim at the current regulatory environment: “The status quo fails on every level, and I will not stop fighting until we fix this broken system.”
Lummis, along with Senator John Kennedy, signalled intent to stay through the weekend to vote on the bill. While they did not succeed, Thune’s cloture filing now gives the September push a firm procedural foundation.

Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett recently revealed the disputes that have held the bill back. The first is a yield-related language dispute, where banks have persuaded several Republican senators that the current bill text needs revision.
The second is the ethics provision. Democrats want state attorneys general to hold the authority to sue the DOJ over ethics enforcement. Republicans and the White House oppose that position. Both issues remain open heading into September.
The 2026 midterm cycle puts pressure on available floor time after recess, and the recess period now serves as a negotiating window. Lummis has given no indication she intends to slow down, and the procedural groundwork is now in place for a vote.
