The CLARITY Act was reported favorably to the House floor, an important step toward passing the legislation through Congress.\n\n\u201cThe United States has a real opportunity to lead and deliver on President Trump\u2019s promise to make America the crypto capital of the world. The CLARITY Act, with our Securities Clarity Act and BRCA included, unlocks this opportunity and finally gives developers and investors the confidence they need to innovate and build here at home,\u201d Congressman Emmer said.\n\nBackground:\n\nThe Securities Clarity Act provides market certainty for innovators and clear jurisdictional boundaries for regulators. The elements of the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act that are included in the CLARITY Act codify that digital asset developers and service providers that do not custody consumer funds are not money transmitters.\n\nThe Securities Clarity Act is endorsed by CoinCenter, the Blockchain Association, The Digital Chamber, and the Crypto Council for Innovation. More information on the Securities Clarity Act can be found here.\n\nThe BRCA is supported by CoinCenter, the DeFi Education Fund, the Blockchain Association, The Digital Chamber, the Solana Policy Institute, and the Crypto Council for Innovation. More information on the BRCA can be found here.\n\nCongressman Emmer is an original cosponsor of the CLARITY Act and a Co-Chairman of the Congressional Crypto Caucus.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T01:08:28Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://emmer.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/emmer-s-securities-clarity-act-and-blockchain-regulatory-certainty-act-pass-house-financial-services-committee-markup"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.499679870903492, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
